The finale lacks a standout contender.
Oasis Prince still hasn't fully proved himself in terms of stamina over 1m2f, while Ben Haslam's
Sandret continues to climb steadily up the weights.
Dark Lochnagar was probably a shade unfortunate not to win a jumpers' bumper at Newcastle earlier in the year (stamina ebbed away), and while he promises to be suited by dropping back-in-trip, his trainer Keith Dalgleish (also saddles
Caballero) could be in better form. Therefore, on just his second start for Richard Fahey, the tentative choice is the ground versatile four-year-old
HOT TEAM.
