A 2 lb nudge from the handicapper may not prevent PAUL'S DREAM going one better than last time. Recent all-the-way C&D winner Chosen Shant should give it another good shot, while Influential Lady is also respected on the back of a good third at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago. Gordon Elliott handicap newcomer Gerrys Wish rates a potential improver and would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for her.
