I hope that the winner is named here. Everything is right for these horses to go well. Big River wasn't a big surprise, he has a nice low weight. He ran a cracker behind Beware The Bear in the Ultima and was only beaten 7L. Beware The Bear is up 9lb for that run where as Big River is on the same mark, so he has a big swing here. He is versitile ground wise, but the better ground will help him get the distance. As long as he came out of Cheltenham ok then he has claims off a very nice weight. This is a race the trainer wants to win. Doing Fine is 1lb lower than when he came 4th in this last year. That was off a break and this year he has had a wind ...
