Christmas comeback for Pady

Forpadydeplasterer will be back on track later this month following his respectable second in the Drinmore Chase.

Trainer Thomas Cooper has entered his charge in the Knight Frank Novice Chase and the Grade One Durkan New Homes Novice Chase at the big Leopardstown December meeting.

Fourth in the Ballymore Properties Novices' Hurdle in March, Forpadydeplasterer only scraped home on his chase debut but got to within five and a half lengths of Dusty Sheehy's star Trafford Lad at Fairyhouse a week ago.

‘He came out of the race grand and will now run at Leopardstown at Christmas,’ reported Cooper.
