In depth
Verdict
A tough finale with plenty of possibles in this competitive sprint including Millennium Force. Mick Channon's charge could not be in better form and has eraned a crack at this level following recent victories at Ascot and here two weeks ago. The four-year-old revels in the conditions and should go close while Orientor looked to be back to his best last time when second in a similar heat at Newmarket and has every chance at the weights. Smokin Beau and Monkston Point are others who are capable of winning if on song but TEAMtalk preference is for Warningford. James Fanshawe's admirable servant has ideal conditions and stays a little further so is guaranteed to stay so looks sure to go well for each way punters to round off the turf Flat season in style.
