In depth
Verdict
Abutilon is taken to land the finale with Generoustoafault and Final Veto rated as the main dangers. The selection is a half-brother to the very useful Ashgar and he could be up to making a winning debut. The booking of AP McCoy is eyecatching and if the market vibes are positive then it should pay to take the hint. Generoustoafault is another interesting newcomer from the Noel Chance yard who have got a good strike-rate in bumpers this year. A watching brief on the market is again advised. Dividing Line is from a stable in form and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Abutilon.
