PARADOXICAL is enjoying a fine 2025 and taken to bag a remarkable fifth victory having been undone by a wide berth when eighth at Chelmsford City last time out. Cephalus is feared most on the back of his career-best Southwell success but he's not the only danger in this wide open handicap with Arcadian Nights, Kind of Kiss and Koy Koy all in the picture too.
