A wide open bumper rounds off proceedings and the market may prove the best guide as to what is expected of the newcomers. Dragons Dream, Osoglad and Nice Guy Eddie are all sure to have their supporters and we will take a chance on Dragons Dream. The gelding is from the Paul Nicholls yard is well bred and his yard does particularly well in these types of events so he will be hard to beat. Osoglad made a pleasing debut when third behind Magical Wonderland. He is sure to improve for the experience and he is likely to be in the shake up. Good Guy Eddie is another that catches the eye on breeding but his stable are not noted for winners in this sphere. Of the remainder Miss Vettori and Grantie Boy are from predominately flat yards and are worth keeping an eye on in the market.
