Race preview
WRECKING BALL PAUL performed with credit on his racecourse debut when third at Navan earlier in the month and the four-year-old is likely to step forward from that initial performance. Imperial Ruler won nicely on his sole bumper outing at Tipperary last May and he commands a fair amount of respect, while others to consider include Perceval Legallois, who finished third at Naas on his latest start, and newcomer Watermelon Girl.
