COSMOS D'AINAY 12/1
COSMOS D'AINAY at 12/1, Gordon Elliott and Danny Gilligan, is the one I keep coming back to. He is back quickly, ran 2 days ago, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
PAUL'S DREAM rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 129 and runs off 136 — up 7lb.
The dangers are RUN FOR MAHLER at 14/1 and SIGN FROM ABOVE at 28/1 (a course winner).
