      Verdict

      None are ruled out in a tricky finale. Red Force One has been in good form over hurdles recently but this may be too short for Diamond Bay, though Ravenscraig Castle will ensure a good gallop. WOR WILLIE has won twice over this trip and twice over the stiff 1m4f at Pontefract. He loves to hear his hooves rattle and will be all the better for a run at Doncaster two weeks ago. State Legend’s yard won this last year and Kempton third Balhambar is unexposed and may be suited by the step up in trip with the latter comment also applying to Cubana Habana.
