It's All A Joke (5/2), Gottardo (5/2), Highly Approved (11/2), Verhoyen (11/2), Ar Saoirse (12/1), Very Smart (12/1), Premier League (14/1), Rhythm Of Love (28/1), That's My Girl (33/1)

The top two on the card look the pair to focus on in the finale and HIGHLY APPROVED earns the nod in his bid for a course four-timer. He's been improving rapidly for Joseph O'Brien before changing hands and looks to have plenty scope under his new rating, with Tom Madden taking a useful 5lb off. Gottardo, a winner over 5f here last week, shouldn't be inconvenienced up in trip and is a worthy adversary. Verhoyen and It's All A Joke can fight out the minors, while Very Smart could improve now handicapping.
