With only 3lb between the seven runners on official ratings, finding the winner of this finale won't be easy. Buster Brown may just prove the pick of James Given's pair while Devote Myself won a similar contest at Salisbury, despite racing freely. My Guardian Angel is edging closer to a first success but Queen's Estate has been well beaten in all four starts. DROPZONE and Samartian Knight are comparatively lightly-raced and Marco Botti's Redcar third is just preferred tackling this trip for the first time.
