        Verdict

        NOODLES BLUE BOY is the form horse in the race and gets the narrow vote ahead of Final Salute and Lucky Art. The selection has won three times this summer and ran another fine race after finishing second to Viva Volta at Newcastle last time out. He has continued to improve throughout the season and he looks set to conquer the handicapper once again running off a mark that he is more than capable of winning off. Final Salute is only lightly raced and has continued to improve with experience. He broke his maiden tag at Windsor earlier in the month and was only narrowly beaten at Southwell last time out so is sure to give his supporters another good run for their money. Lucky Art has been running with consistency throughout the summer months. He ran well after finishing third of sixteen behind Cawdor at Nottingham last time out and should be closely monitored in the betting market. Noodles Blue Boy looks well treated on his best form and takes preference.
