In depth
Verdict
A competitive finale may go to Siena Star who has proved himself a most genuine and consistent performer. Paul Cole's charge has finished out of the frame just once in his last ten starts and has won three including a comfortable success at Lingfield last time. The son of Brief truce should prove hard to beat off a mark just 1lb higher. Kathakali will find this tougher having landed a seller last time while Mobo-Baco is in fair form and on a winning mark but may have to settle for minor honours in this higher grade than he usually contests.
