Another big field is set to contest the finale, and it's a bit of a pinstickers this one, with none of them having any great form to shout about, and you'd have to really twist my arm for a selection, so VERY tentatively we'll side with Pretty Officer, ahead of La Rochette and Toballa. Pretty Officer at least has a couple of places to her name, unlike many here, albeit both at Brighton. La Rochette is Peter Chapple-Hyam's only runner on the card, and is the least exposed, but has been unplaced on her 3 runs to date at a higher grade. She may have the most improvement in her to land this. Toballa steps back in trip from her last run ay Yarmouth; again she's not as exposed as many, so there could be some progress to come. It's not a contest to whet the appetite or get heavily involved in, but something has to win, and we feel it could go the way of Pretty Officer.
