Formscan  - Paddy's Day successfully completed a four-timer at Newcastle on his most recent start and continues his rise through the ranks. However, with all of these victories coming at the same track and another career best needed, it may be best to side with SPARTAN ARROW. The five-year-old made his second outing for the Archie Watson yard a triumphant one at Wolverhampton and might have more to offer. Last-time-out Chelmsford scorer Thankuappreciate isn't out of it either.
