Verdict
A tricky finale where it may pay to side with SHADED EDGE ahead of Wing Play and Ryedale Ovation. Serena Brotherton is one of the more experienced riders in this line-up and it looks significant that she's been signed up to partner Shaded Edge. The selection has to carry a penalty for his win at Salisbury but won readily and is capable of following up. Wing Play is tried in blinkers which could have a positive effect on the gelding who has seemed more at home on artificial surfaces than grass to date. Ryedale Ovation also has a better record on the all-weather but he has won on grass and should be competitive. Others to bear in mind include Carlitos Spirit, My Learned Friend and Paraguay but the claims of the in-form Shaded Edge are preferred.
