Another competitive contest rounds off the card with many in form rivals in opposition including Mr Ed, Bid For Fame and Heron's Ghyll and we will side with the top weight Bid For Fame. The six year old from the Nicky Henderson yard won well last time out when defeating Castle River and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat despite his penalty. Mr Ed rates the main danger he also won well last time out when defeating Balladeer and he to will like the ground. Heron's Ghyll ran as if in need of the run when well beaten last time but the switch to hurdles and this longer trip should help. Dark Shadows also has definite place claims on his latest third behind Limerick Leader but he may do better with slightly more cut in the ground. Terre De Java is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he has a long absence to overcome so we are happy to side with Bid For Fame.
