Verdict
The hardest race has been left until last and we will give a narrow vote to Vice Admiral, Richtee and Tizzy May look to be the best alternatives. The selection comes here in great heart having landed handicaps at Catterick at Beverley. He just does enough to win and as a consequence he hasn't risen much in the weights and a hat-trick looks on the cards. It is nice to see Serena Brotherton back in the saddle and her ride Richtee has been steadily dropping down the weights and could run into a place at a decent price. Tizzy May ran well in a similar contest on Saturday and if he takes his chance today he has to to be considered a major threat. Any money for Moment Of Clarity would be interesting, but a safer option here has to be the in form Vice Admiral and he gets the decsion.
