A wide open finale and those that make the shortlist are Chapter, Astrolibra, King Of Connacht and Magic Amigo and the vote goes to Chapter. Annabelle King's gelding showed good battling qualities to land a Brighton handicap last time out form that has not been left down with the runner-up running to his mark subsequently. King Of Connacht was a winner on the fibresand under today's rider and off a 4lb higher mark is a major contender. Astrolibra has it all to do with Chapter on today's terms after their clash at Brighton; that event being Chapter's most recent victory. Blinkers are applied once again to Magic Amigo after his third placing at Great Leighs and is likely to represent each way value but Chapter gets the nod to land the finale.
