Slade Paddy can show bounce-back-ability in the Paddy Power Fair Warrior Stakes Final over 400 yards at Mullingar on Sunday.
John McGee’s runner was beaten last week after clocking the fastest time of the year with 21.23sec in the heats and setting the standard in the second round.
The son of Slip The Lark dog was slowly away last week and ran into early trouble when beaten by Catherines Drico but is expected to atone in this prestigious annual.
Catherines Drico is again the main threat.
Ronnie McKeown’s Peggy Kellys Islandbridge Sprint winner has won his last two in the event but the railer will again have to overcome trap four.
Thomas Buggy’s Kilgraney Kidd is the only unbeaten finalist. He has won twice from the same trap one and is capable of stepping up on the clock
1 Kilgraney Kidd 5
2 Good News John 25
3 Judge 33
4 Catherines Drico 11-8
5 Slade Paddy 5-4
6 Afro Jack 8
