Danelor, Bill Bennett and Trysting Grove are three against the field in a wide open finale and the narrow vote is given to Danelor. The selection was a fair second behind Boppys Dancer last time out, that form looks rock solid and with the race looking sure to be run to suit he will be hard to beat. Bill Bennett rates the main danger on his latest second behind Atlantic Gamble but he is hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Trysting Grove won well last time out but looks vulnerable under his penalty. Comeintothespace was unlucky in running last time out and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to the in form Danelor.
