Pady on course for Leopardstown Forpadydeplasterer is on target for the Paddy Power Dial-a-Bet Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday week as long as the ground is suitable. Trainer Tom Cooper reports last season's Arkle Trophy winner to be in fine form following his overseas trip to Sandown where he was second in the Tingle Creek Chase. "He's excellent. He had his first canter yesterday morning and cantered again today, but he'd been ticking away on the roads over the last week and has come out of Sandown very good," said the Tralee-based handler. "He was a bit tired when he came home on the Sunday morning, but Tuesday he was fine again." "We are going to keep him in the Dial-a-Bet and see how the ground goes. If it comes up soft he won't run - we won't run him on soft again. He did have an entry in the Lexus but we took him out at the latest forfeit stage."
