      Verdict

      Ellway Heights, Ipledgeallegiance and Cosmic Case look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the confident vote goes to Ellway Heights. The selection was a fair fifth behind Inchnadamph off this mark on his last run and that form has since been franked, so he looks the one to beat with conditions to suit. Ipledgeallegiance rates the main danger on his best form but he has been tried over a variety of trips without success and for that reason he is opposed. Cosmic Case is another that could go well as he was a fair second behind Gone Too Far last time out and off the same mark here he will not be far away. Of the remainder Sovereign State is another with a chance but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and for the winner we return to Ellway Heights.
