Verdict
This is a competitive finale and Blakeney Point and Alqamar look up against it returning from a break. Ben Haslam’s pair, THATBEATSBANAGHER and Our Laura B, are both recent winners but preference is for Richie McLernon’s mount. Pyramid Place is back on his favoured ground and City Derby won at Wetherby two runs ago. Curley Finger can be hard to catch if allowed an easy lead but has just looked in the handicapper’s grip lately.
