Palypso De Creek bids to land this for the fourth time in succession and arrives on the back of a couple of point-to-point victories. But BIG FELLA THANKS may spoil the party this time round as he has a bit in hand with all of these on today's terms and Tom George's charge gets the vote. Herdsman has a shout in this company but has not raced since April and Wicklow Lad is preferred as he won between the flags just last month and should be sharper for that.
