Verdict
WHAT A FELLA is the form pick to land the finale, while both Africa's Star and Chantilly Jewel have shown a decent level of ability and should be noted. The selection ran a personal best to finish third of ten at Ayr last time out. He had dropped in the ratings since last season and could now be well treated. He has a nice racing weight to carry and as this looks like one of his easiest opportunities for some time he is worth staying on the right side of. Africa's Star ran well enough to finish third of ten behind Crimea at Thirsk last time out. Connections have decided to put a pair of blinkers on him for the first time to enhance his enthusiasm so any support in the betting market should be monitored. Chantilly Jewel has shown only a moderate amount of ability but this will be her easiest task to date and has place claims. This is not the best race to finish the card, but What A Fella sets the standard and takes preference.
