Big Shanghai couldn't quite get to Fameafterglory at Mainstown in December and should make a bold bid to go one better. Gavin Cromwell's Midnight It Is was in the lead when falling 2 out at Borris House in November and was subsequently sold for £60,000 at the sales but this can go to the only newcomer in the line-up. FAMOUS BRIDGE cost €84,000 and is a half-brother to three winners. His rider Michael O'Sullivan was on board a winner at Leopardstown a week ago and comes here in good form. Green Vault may prove best of the remainder.
