Verdict

This is a low-key finale but it looks wide-open. Aristocracy was second on the Flat a week ago when returning from a lengthy absence. Outrageous Romana was third at Worcester last month after winning at Uttoxeter. Nemean Lion would have a squeak if on a going day but a first try over 3m may well suit HANDY HOLLOW, who is probably on a fair mark at present. Others to consider include Tir Dubh, Kingston and Gold Bonne Raine but Blue Rhythm has changed stables since a close third at Southwell in May.
