Verdict

In a finale where few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken on MOSCOW SPY, who is lightly raced and shaped better than the result on his handicap debut when last seen in April. Just Loose Change is a possible improver now handicapping so he's also on the shortlist along with recent Stratford runner-up Martalmix'jac.

  1. MOSCOW SPY (IRE)
  2. JUST LOOSE CHANGE
  3. MARTALMIX'JAC (FR)
