Verdict

A tough looking finale which features a number of recent winners, with a couple of those (Apterix and Sioux Frontier) seeking respective hat-tricks. Furthermore, others arrive off the back of solid (non-winning) efforts with Berrahri and Never Do Nothing being the most obvious examples. Charlie D boasts realistic claims if asked to turn out quickly following his comeback win at Chepstow on Thursday, but if pressed a marginal preference would be for the ground versatile HEART OF SOUL who appears to be particularly well suited to the unique demands of this idiosyncratic track.
  1. Heart Of Soul
  2. Charlie D
  3. Berrahri
