Flaming Cheek, Bobsleigh and East Lawyer look the ones to concentrate on in the finale and the confident vote goes to Bobsleigh. The four year old was a fair sort on the flat and made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when second to Supreme Serenade, he is sure to have learnt from the experience and will be hard to beat. East Lawyer rates the main danger on his win a couple of runs ago but he was pulled up last time and it is hard to know what to expect. Flaming Cheek could also go well he won well last time out when defeating Buz Kiri but that was in a handicap and this looks much more competitive. Of the remainder Nharwal is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to plenty of improvement but he is very lightly raced and may need the run after a 397 day absence, so we are happy to stick with Bobsleigh.
