Verdict
PARTY PICTURES is the selection to land the finale while Furmagiatt and Royal Scoundrel appear the biggest threats. An easy point-to-point winner in May at Vauterhill, the merit of the form is unknown but Party Pictures could not have done the job any easier and looks to have been found a perfect opportunity to make a winning racecourse debut. Market support for Royal Scoundrel would make him of some interest given the yard's form in recent weeks while Furmagiatt has displayed some promise in two bumper outings but would need to step up to land it. Sam Thomas is an eye-catching jockey booking for Praise Hymn, a half-brother to two smart sorts in Ireland. A bumper that will not take much winning and Party Pictures is the pick.
