Formscan - PADDY DE POLE looks worth sticking with after scoring at Sedgefield in September. Paul Nicholls' charge beat only two rivals on that occasion, but the runner-up has subsequently won and a 2lb rise could prove lenient. The winner at Uttoxeter in the summer, Oakley cannot be ruled out in this lower grade, while Jackstell can make his presence felt off his current mark.
