Paddy's Pick 5: our tips for Saturday's £25,000 game

Will you be emulating last week's sole winner of the jackpot? John from Kilkenny only found out he'd won when getting an email from Paddy Power - and even then thought it was a hoax!

There’s £25,000 up for grabs and below is our idea of the winners. The game is free to play but remember to gamble responsibly if you're thinking of having a bet on any of your selections.

Under Control has a little bit in hand on the ratings and proved much happier on good ground last time than when getting bogged down at the Cheltenham Festival. Like Killaloan, she has pedigree that is pivoted more around speed than stamina, but she has taken well to hurdling and her trainer is ending the season in the same sort of hot form he has been in throughout the campaign.

Celtic Art could be the one if you're looking to thin the numbers out right from the start and get the favourite beaten. He has taken particularly well to hurdling at a relatively late stage of life and he's another whose flat speed could prove potent if the rain stays away.

Clearly the sponsors aren't desperate to give another 25k away throwing this race into the mix, but it does get a little easier from this point onwards.

Kitty's Light is a remarkable character, who walks his way through the odd fence - not altogether surprisingly given that he is a pony compared to some of these rivals. He was bought to race on the Flat, only to turn out most effective racing over three circuits rather to one.

The incredible Frodon should get his conditions here and, at his prime, he might have had a chance of running inferior rivals into the ground off a mark of 160 - but he doesn't seem quite the force of old now.

There's a huge amount of pace here in any case, with Annsam likely to tow them along with Frodon and Annual Invictus hot on his heels.

That could all play into a more steadily-ridden rival like The Goffer, who is the sort of hardy type to bounce back quickly from being pulled up in very soft ground.

Al Mubhir was very popular for the Lincoln but didn't quite deliver, travelling powerfully but failing to maintain his effort all the way to the line. The oddly testing ground may have been a factor there, and he is fancied to bounce back under Buick.

Andrew Balding's runners have notably all been coming on for a run or two this season and Notre Bell Bete could have a little more still to offer.

Hudson de Grugy was earmarked for this race after winning here last time, but might just prefer a little more ease in the ground.

Paul Nicholls is ending the campaign in cracking form and must have thought for a long way at Punchestown that he'd be bringing home a Grade One with Bravemansgame. Cap Du Mathan has been keeping busy in handicaps but hasn't been unduly punished for a smart run of form.

Spycatcher went off the boil as the season went on last year and the worry would be that history might repeat itself in 2023, although he's a class act if Karl Burke can keep him sweet.

Orbaan and Rhoscolyn would be easier to fancy if their trainer was going a bit better, so preference is for Tactical, who shaped takingly on his first start for Julie Camacho at Doncaster at the start of the month. He cost connections 150,000 guineas so there's a long way to go in terms of trying to recoup that investment but this isn't a bad prize and he could take this before going on to Royal Ascot - he was sixth in the Buckingham Palace last season off a 4lb higher mark.
