It's likely the Paul Nicholls-trained FAME AND FUN has more to offer now handicapping so he could prove the answer to this big-field finale. Like so many from the Ben Pauling team Couldbeaweapon has had a good spell of late and he heads the dangers along with last year's winner Karakoram. Ferdinand Star would also come into it if the betting vibes are strong on his first outing for the David Pipe yard.
