Paddy the pick

PADDY O’DEE is the nap choice in the first division of the Tote Placepot Races 1 to 6 Maiden Hurdle at Ballinrobe today.

He’s only run twice, showing little on his debut at Cork last month. In a contest won by Delightful Way, the selection was out of contention when falling three from home.

Philip Rothwell’s gelding reappeared six days later, at Down Royal, and looked an entirely different proposition.
