Dream still alive for Paul's The Tony Mullins-trained Paul’s Dream continued her fine run of form with a convincing success at Fairyhouse this afternoon. The Mahler filly went to post 3/1 favourite in the two-mile Powerscreen New England Supporting Louth GAA Handicap Hurdle and claimed front-runner Must Meet Cecil over the second last. She asserted down to the final flight, under Danny Mullins, and went on to post a three-and-a-half length win over Red Glory. The winner had been runner-up on her last two outings having scored at Wexford in late August and her trainer said:- “She’s an improving filly. We were very unlucky to meet a smart horse of Willie's (Zillow) in Kilbeggan and she ran well in Listowel. “I think she’s an improver and the big dream would be something like the Galway Hurdle next year. Maybe that’s a bit high to be aiming but she’s improving. “She was called after the main man in the syndicate that owns her, Paul Burke, who died of cancer two years ago. “She’s owned by the Shoot A Hoop Syndicate from Athlone but Bronson Racing asked us for the loan of her for the day because of the Louth GAA function here today.”
