Buachaill Dona gets the confident vote in the finale with Harry Up and Sunrise Safari rating the main dangers. The selection ran as if returning to form when third behind River Falcon in a better race at York. Off the same mark here and from a good draw he gets the confident vote. Harry Up rates the main danger on his latest third behind Judd Street. He has won off a higher mark in the past and with his yard not averse to landing a touch he should be noted in the market. Sunrise Safari is another that could go well as he won well last time when beating Elkhorn but he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Orientor's best form is with more cut in the ground while Garstang is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Buachaill Dona.
