        Verdict

        This is a competitive finale in which Mylo, Yourman and Hernandita have to form the shortlist and the vote is given to Mylo. The selection broke his duck at the 18th attempt last time when defeating Brush A King, and now that he has found the winning thread he looks worth following. The slight drop in trip should not be a problem and with AP McCoy taking over in the plate he has plenty in his favour. The champion jockey was on board Yourman last time when he finished second Dom D'Orgeval, but he is stepped up in trip and he has yet to prove he stays this far, so for that reason he is readily opposed. Hernandita did not quite get home over this trip at Stratford last time when third behind San Marco. However, he did travel well for a long way in that contest so he can't be overlooked here with any confidence. Bekstar is on a handy mark and is capable of running well at a big price, but for the winner we return to Mylo.
