Verdict
A big field for this finale which features a recent course and distance winner in Georgieshore. Zoe Davison’s 10-year-old has a penalty to carry but has his ground again so should be in the firing-line. Dark Invader is the least exposed and has the champion doing the steering but he’s been racing over longer trips. Hear The Chimes represents last year’s winning stable and has claims along with Hartside while the maiden The Blue Bomber has plummeted down the weights. Ardmayle has won off higher marks over fences but we’ll take a chance on a return to form from SPORTY YANKEE. A genuine soft-ground performer, he has shaped with a bit of promise in two runs here since returning from a break and may now be ready to do himself justice.
