Fourty Acers gets the vote here with Twisted Logic and Mr Ed rating the dangers. The selection looked a horse to follow when winning a couple of runs ago but he has since been let down by his jumping, However as a consequence he ramains on a fair mark and in what looks a poor contest he looks the one to be on. Twisted Logic rates the main danger as he has won this race twice in the last four years and has conditions to suit but age appears to be catching up with him and he is opposable on that basis. Mr Ed is well weighted on his best form and with his yard back amongst the winners he could go well at a price but he has been let down by his jumping of late and with this in mind for the winner we return to Forty Acers.
