Pady set to start at Cheltenham

Forpadydeplasterer will make his seasonal reappearance in the Sinbad Testimonial 2010/2011 Chase at Cheltenham on Sunday.

The eight-year-old endured a luckless campaign last season, filling the runner-up spot on each of his five starts including in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham and the Melling Chase at Aintree.

His trainer Tom Cooper is eyeing a step up to three miles in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day, but he will run over the minimum trip at Prestbury Park this weekend to blow away the cobwebs.

"The plan is for him to run in the two-miler on the Sunday," said Cooper.

"He's in good form and we've had no problems at all with him, thank God.

"We're looking at the King George for him but this looks a good place for him to get started again.

"He's fairly straight though, and we'll just have to see what we're taking on."
