Paddy poised for big run in Pierse

MERCHENT PADDY can give us a big run in the Pierse Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown tomorrow, assuming the meeting passes a 7.30 inspection in the morning.

There is little doubt that, on all known form, he has plenty to find, but Charles Byrnes’ charge has given the impression there may be much better to come!

You could argue the two miles on the inside track is going to be prove on the sharp side.
