Satchelman, Longueville Manor and Whistle Blowing are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Satchelman. The selection won well on his debut when beating Mister Pink in a bumper is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he will be hard tro beat. Longueville Manor rates the main danger on his latest second behind Megaton but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming expensive to follow. Whistle Blowing was second behind Ellersile Tom last time and is another that could go well but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Dazzling Jim is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that is hard to win with and in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Satchelman.
