Get My Drift, Jim Edwards and Ballybeg Glen form the shortlist in the finale and the vote is given to Get My Drift. The selection hails from a stable that normally do well at this meeting and he was a good second last time out behind Ferimon at Newbury. A reproduction of that effort should suffice and he is taken to score. Jim Edwards is an interesting newcomer from a yard in form so is certainly worth a look in the market. Ballybeg Glen was having his first run for over a year and first for his new trainer and was not disgraced last time and with that effort under his belt he could go well. Flight Leader could prove best of the rest but for the winner we will return to Get My Drift.
