Verdict
The finale is a modest handicap that shouldn¿t take too much winning and Cold Turkey can land this at the expense of Danehill Lad and Forever My Lord. Gary Moore¿s top weight is chasing a hat-trick following victories here and at Goodwood. The success over the mile and a half trip here came late last month when just getting the better of today¿s rival Danehill Lad, the selection is two pounds better off today so should confirm the form over this slightly longer trip. If anything goes amiss with the selection then Danehill Lad could be the one to benefit, but Forever My Lord should also make a bold bid. His recent efforts haven¿t been too inspiring but he did manage a victory at Musselburgh back in August and has run well here in the past. But on this occasion Cold Turkey is taken to not break the winning habit.
