Verdict
A wide-open chase to end proceedings with ITOLDYOU getting the nod on the back of a recent second at Plumpton where he finished ahead of Leith Hill Legasi. There was little between Gale Force Oscar and Midnight Mustang when they filled the places at Southwell last time while King Charlie was runner-up off a similar mark at Fontwell earlier in the month. Bonds Conquest and Reblis were both placed on their penultimate starts and Lock Towers should be sharper for a recent comeback but though Shanann Star went close on her latest start that was in April last year.
