Verdict

Boppys Pride, Lordswood and Earl Kraul are three against the field in a wide-open finale and the narrow vote is given to Boppys Pride. The selection is well weighted on her best form and shaped as if returning to her best when third last time out she has conditions to suit and looks a value bet. Lordswood rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind High Class Problem but he has yet to win over this trip and looks opposable on that basis. Earl Kraul hails from a yard in top form and is another with place claims, he could improve for the fitting of a first time visor but again he looks vulnerable under top weight. Barton Sands goes well over course and distance and could go well at a price but he is another that looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Boppys Pride.
