Verdict
FIRST BID got off the mark in similar company at Yarmouth last month. The way he drew clear inside the final furlong suggested he'd have no problem with today's longer trip and the runner-up has since boosted the form. Kevin Ryan's charge gets the vote to follow up despite a penalty as Rooknrasbryripple failed to improve when dropped into this grade at York last time with Umph three lengths behind. Come On Dave, Blue Belle Lady and Low Pastures are all worth noting on their debuts.
