Verdict
This is a tricky race to round off the card and as always in this type of contest the market should be watched for clues, but The Hearty Joker, Ballad Minstrel and Chaparro Amargoso look to be the ones to concentrate on with a chance taken on The Hearty Joker. The selection was well beaten behind Good Bone at Folkestone last time, but that was a much better race than this and with conditions to suit he will not be far away at the finish. Ballad Minstrel was a fair sort under rules with the Fitzgerald stable and has the experienced Jo Foster on board so could go well. Chaparro Amargoso is the other with good place prospects but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum The Hearty Joker is given the tentative choice.
