        Verdict

        Im Ova Ere Dad can land the finale at the expense of Moonlight Fantasy and Carrietau. The selection carries a six pound penalty for breaking his maiden tag at Southwell in handicap company last time out. He was running off a mark of fifty four after running mid division in a couple of maidens. Connections must feel it is worth a quick turn out will pay dividends so is therefore on to stay on the right side of. Moonlight Fantasy broke his maiden tag at Ayr before running well in second place at Ripon behind River Logic last time out. He had Carrietau behind him in second place when breaking his maiden tag who will struggle to reverse the placings this time. Both horses look the type to win again for sure but could both find one or two better treated. Therefore for the winner we return to Im Ova Ere Dad.
