        Verdict

        A very tricky finale and we will take a chance with Coronado Forest, Fulvio and Stamford Blue are just two of many dangers. The selection is at the top of his game having landed back to back victories on the all-weather at Lingfield. On both occasions there appeared to be a little more in the locker and a hat-trick certainly looks on the cards. Fulvio is not a bad performer on his day and did win over course and distance back in April, he is difficult to leave out of calculations. Stamford Blue hit top form during the summer and is the best in on offical ratings, if running up to his best he must be considered a good thing for a place. In what is a wide open contest Magic Amour and Sonderburg are two others in with a squeak, but on this occasion we have to go with in form Coronado Forest.
