Beck, Shadow Jumper and Silver Hotspur look the three to concentrate on in the finale with Beck getting the vote. The selection was a fair second behind Sir Bond last time out, looks sure to be suited by the drop in trip and will be hard to beat. Shadow Jumper rates the main danger on his latest second behind The Salwick Flyer but consistency is not his strong point. Silver Hotspur won well last time out when beating Sion Hill but looks vulnerable under his penalty. Of the remainder, Desert Lover goes well over course and distance and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Beck.
