FormscanBy Michael Graham - Drying ground will suit PAUL'S DREAM well. She made the breakthrough with a comfortable success at Wexford last month and then acquitted herself well when runner-up in a much-higher grade than this at Kilbeggan. Ifitwasme has two course victories to call upon including in this race last year. He has been freshened up since disappointing at Killarney in July and a big run wouldn't be surprising. Fast Felix has Listowel form in the book and delivered when last seen in a maiden hurdle at Killarney which brings him into contention. Fool Me Once, Targa Flavio and Wardens Whisper are others with chances.
