Verdict

A wide open Last Fling, which features last week's emphatic Tommy Whittle winner Lord Du Mesnil who finally appears to have mastered the art of winning races. He sits 10lb higher in the weights over a new trip with competition for the lead from the likes of Thomas Patrick and Perfect Candidate. Fergal O'Brien's veteran rolled back the years when scoring over C&D six weeks ago, and with that form franked (in the Mandarin at Newbury) by the runner-up Moving In Style is afforded maximum respect. However, the speculative selection is the stamina-laden course winner POTTERS LEGEND. He could potentially pick up the pieces if the leaders push too hard early.
  1. Potters Legend
  2. Perfect Candidate
  3. Lord Du Mesnil
