Lucky's Dream (7/4), Clem A (10/3), Paddyplex (13/2), Corked (17/2), Howzer Black (10/1), Curfewed (12/1), Hector's Here (14/1), Palavecino (16/1), Bin Makfi (33/1), Bobba Tee (50/1), The Game Of Life (50/1), Suaimhneach (80/1)
A number of in-form rivals do battle, and that is where the focus should lie in seeking the winner. Both Corked (on a hat-trick) and Curfewed (form franked) tackle stronger opposition (Class 5) seeking to continue to progress, while Clem A moves away from Wolverhampton in his hat-trick mission for the soon to be retiring trainer Alan Bailey. However, we'll opt to row-in with the Ian Williams-trained Chelmsford regular LUCKY'S DREAM on the strength of a solid overall career strike-rate (5-21) and with the suspicion that he had plenty in the locker when scoring at the Essex venue 26 days ago. Of the remainder, Palvecino and Paddyplex aren't totally discounted.
