A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Buena Vista, Bayside, Dream Alliance and High Altitude and we will take a chance on Bayside. The selection is a Docksider gelding, half-sister to several winners including the useful Port Lucaya and with Tony McCoy booked he is taken to score. Buena Vista rates the main danger he is from a yard that does well in this sphere and this In The Wings colt, brother to the useful Central Park is worth watching in the market. Dream Alliance is another from a top yard but this Bien Bien colt out of a lightly-raced mare is bred to do better over further and for that reason he is opposed. High Altitude is a Alhaarth colt out of winning miler and is another to note in the market. Of the remainder Double Dizzy is another that is bred to do better over a longer trip and for the winner we return to Bayside.
