Far from wishful to side with Paddys back in A4 company

ITS PADDYS WISH has a near 40 per cent overall strike rate at Youghal which is smart enough but that improves to a perfect 100 per cent - two from two - in the A4 grade he tackles in the 11.47 over 525 yards there.

Nioclas Walsh's dog has scored as high as A2 company and was an A3 winner just four outings ago with his latest second place at that level top form to bring into today's assignment.

Carefree Raven looks the one most likely to challenge him early but, clearing that rival by the opening turn, he can quickly go on to settle the issue.

Damian Varian's Seaview Sally is an earlier Youghal fancy in an A7 at 11.29, while Ger Gubbins' Hollyhill Capri can complete a hat-trick in an A3 at 1.12.

Harlow has a Monday double-header with Sharon Saberton's Millibucks (11.54) fancied to land a morning D3 sprint, while Darren Ellerker's Skidrow Jake can open his account after a couple of recent near-misses when he goes in an evening A7 at 8.34.

Doncaster and Suffolk Downs host afternoon meetings with Jimmy Gaskin's Redbrick Luna (3.11) standing out at Donny, while Laura Pruhs' Savana Cheetahs (2.44) can make it four wins in her last five starts at the last-named venue.
