Forecasts

Paul's Dream (11/4), Chosen Shant (9/2), Onebrightbluerose (11/2), Stoneyford Lady (11/2), Chapter Thirty (15/2), Auntie Lacey (9/1), Sidiriya (10/1), Influential Lady (12/1), Ballycommon Chapel (16/1), Stormy Jenn (18/1), I'm Flattered (20/1), Polly Poppins (22/1), Emily's Light (25/1), Gerrys Wish (33/1), Spricklestown (50/1), Veras Bar (80/1), Keep D Change (125/1)

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.
