      Verdict

      BATEEUR always tries his best and can land the finale at the expense of Princess Rose Anne and Style Icon. The selection is tough and consistent and is the form horse in the race. He won at Folkestone earlier in the month and was not discredited when finishing third at Lingfield off a nine pound higher mark. He runs off the same mark this time around and as it looks like an easier opportunity for him he is difficult to oppose. Princess Rose Anne landed back to back races at Bath and Folkestone in April but she has since struggled after rising in the weights. She faired better when third at Lingfield last time out and is one to note in the market. Style Icon is relatively unexposed compared to the majority of his rivals and is open to further improvement. He ran well enough at Yarmouth last time out and is an each way possibility; however, Bateleur is the form horse and is given the vote to win again.
