Verdict
Lagosta, Infidel and Iloveturtle are three against the field in this finale and the confident vote goes to Lagosta. The selection will not mind the ground a reproduction of his latest second behind Retail Therapy would make him hard to beat. Infidel rates the main danger he was a fair fourth on his hurdling debut behind Constantine. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and he will not be far away. Iloveturtle would have a chance on his best form but he was well beaten behind Hutch here on Saturday and he will need to improve on that to win this. Of the remainder North Landing was a fair third behind Hutch here on Saturday and is from a yard in form a yard in form so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Lagosta.
