Sharpattack gets the confident vote in the finale with Princess Ileana and Moonlight Applause rating the main dangers. the selection was a fair second behind Bid For Gold last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off what looks a handy mark he looks the one to be on. Princess Ileana rates the main danger on her best form but she disappointed for no apparent reason last time out. Moonlight Applause is another that could go well on his latest second behind Darcey's Pride but he is another that is hard to win with. Rue Soleil and Baybshambles are others with place claims but they are also hard to win with and for the winner we return to Sharpattack.
