Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for the finale and the ones to focus on look to be Pharbeitfromme, Lord Of The Land and The Alley Cat and we will take a chance on Pharbeitfromme. He ran as if in need of the the run when third last time out behind No Kidding. He'll be fitter here and Gino Carenza takes a useful five pounds off his back. Lord Of The Land is another that could go well. He's a course winner but his best form is over a longer trip so, for that reason, is opposed. The Alley Cat is also worthy of respect. He has been disappointing of late but that has been over hurdles and the switch back to fences could well suit. Of the remainder, the booking of Tony Dobbin for Tyndarius catches the eye but we are happy to side with Pharbeitfromme.
