FormscanBy Gary Carson - There looks more to come from PADDYS PLANET and he might be able to follow up on his maiden hurdle success last time. The Kalanisi gelding found plenty for pressure when getting home by half a length at Limerick in mid-November and a stiffer test of stamina on this testing ground may suit better now. I Don't Get It appeared to run above his rating when third in maiden company at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day and having been raised just 2lb since he could make an impact back in a handicap. Never Off Duty is lightly raced for a ten-year-old and hasn't been seen in over a year but would be interesting off this mark if the market spoke in his favour.
