    Verdict

    We will bank on Bank On Him in the finale with Danakil and Paso Doble respected as the main dangers. The selection won in convincing style in a hands and heels apprentice handicap at Brighton last time when defeating Holly Rose. His lady rider on that day did not have to work very hard at all to get him home and although this is slightly more difficult, he looks to have decent claims of going in again. Danakil is a course and distance winner who confirmed his well-being with a game fourth in a better race than this at Kempton on Saturday behind Ocean Avenue. A reproduction of that effort would see him go close here. Paso Doble ran well enough when second behind Scottish River at Wolverhampton last time to make him competitive here, especially as he will be suited by the step up in trip. Of the remainder, Reminiscent has shown a fair level of form and he does have a good jockey booked in Carol Williams, so he has to be respected, but for the winner we return to Bank On Him.
