Blood Destiny (11/8), Grann's Boy (4/1), Paul's Dream (9/2), Samui (13/2), Buddy One (7/1), French Dynamite (12/1), Thecompanysergeant (50/1), Milan Forth (50/1)
Not the easiest race to assess but it could pay to side with PAUL'S DREAM who can bag a third hurdling success of the season at the chief expense of Grann's Boy who comes here on the back of a career-best victory here last month. Veteran French Dynamite has an absence to overcome but is weighted to go well if ready to roll.
