Verdict

MYDADDYPADDY once again created a tremendous impression under a confident ride when readily seeing off 2 rivals at Haydock 23 days ago. Looking every inch a high-class novice in the making, he can maintain his 100% record and bring up the 4-timer. Idaho Sun is another very promising sort who looks ready for this step up in grade and may emerge next best.
