In the finale, the short list contains Reel Charmer, King Of The Mountain and Miss Molly Be Rude, with the vote going to Reel Charmer. Reel Charmer's second to Programme Girl at Bangor last time reads well as form in the context of this race, and he gets the nod in the bumper. Cornish Sett's half-sister Cut 'N' Run is interesting based on breeding, while King Of The Mountain is related to a number of winners and is one to look at in the betting. Lindseyfield Lodge hails from a canny yard and is one to note also. The same stable also runs Intersky High. Finally, Vagabondo Man recently won a point so just give him the once over in the betting and Miss Molly Be Rude is related to some jumping winners, so is respected. That said, for the selection we will stick with Reel Charmer.
