Paint The Dream

Selected at: 22/1

Paint The Dream looks very well treated on his best form and currently finds himself on a mark of 140, which is 14lb lower than when winning a competitive Newbury handicap by a wide margin five starts ago. It’s easy to forgive his last two runs and a return to winning ways could be on the agenda.
