Verdict

SHADOW PADDY arrives a perfect 2 from 2 over fences and, while this course will further test his jumping, he's likely to prove hard to beat if taking another step forward. Wild Bill Hickok got his career back on track when winning at Roscommon last time and looks the main danger in receipt of 8 lb from the selection, whilst Le Coq Hardi is also capable of getting involved at his very best.
