Verdict
Pakie's Dream is now 0-18 over fences but THUNDERSOCKSSUNDAE (NAP) opened his account at the fourth time of asking here last month and looks to be taking on weaker opposition today so can double his tally, despite a 9lb hike in the ratings. Le Grand Lion should make a chaser and is also a course winner while Tea For Free has placed in four of his five starts over hurdles and also has scope.
