Verdict
In the finale, the vote goes to Rowanberry, whose biggest dangers might prove to be Bahrain Gold and Seven No Trumps. Seven No Trumps has been running well of late and can't be ruled out of a good run, so long as the draw does not prove a problem. Bahrain Gold has shown enough speed in his races to suggest that he can make them all go over this minimum trip, while Telepathic has a good amateur booked but might be better over a slightly longer trip. Rowanberry also has one of the best riders booked and, from a good draw, has form enough to be given a good shout, hence his choice as the selection. Rosie's Result is capable of putting in a good run from his current mark and might prove best of the rest but the vote stays with Rowanberry.
