His Dream was bought for £60,000 after winning a Down Royal bumper in May but may need the experience today. A similar comment applies to bumper winner Dessinateur while Gaelic Prince is seeing a racecourse for the first time, though has a cracking pedigree for jumping being a half-brother to Grade 3 winner Gaelic Ocean. Pack It In has winning form on the Flat but DYNAMITE DOLLARS can defy the penalty he picked up for winning at Chepstow, even though that form has yet to be franked.
