        Verdict

        In-form Runner Bean can keep up the good work in a decent finale, with the likes of Harik, Night Fighter, Ceresfield and Master Henry sure to make his task hard. However, the nine-year-old has thrived so much since moving to the Presteigne yard that it is hard to overlook his claims. Suited by being waited with in front, those tactics worked a treat at Huntingdon in May, and are sure to be employed again by Robert Thornton. The trainer has stated that conditions look perfect for his charge, and with his tendency to break blood vessels seemingly a thing of the past, he should follow up. Harik is useful but does have to give weight away all round and the likes of Night Fighter, Master Henry and Ceresfield make quick reappearances after their efforts this week. The latter got Richard Guest into hot water when taking the wrong course at Perth on Wednesday when she was taken back to complete the course and finish second to Binny Bay. She is still finding it hard after her initial success after coming from New Zealand and does not appeal as much as Master Henry who made all in a good time at Perth three days ago. That race did not appear to take too much out of him and Ian Williams's charge can give Runner Bean most to do without being good enough thanks to a 7lb penalty.
