Verdict
Having finally got her head in front here last time, Abide is fancied to follow up in this concluding handicap, This is a competitive race though, and the likes of Doitforreel, Tesary, Jalissa and Parisette must all come into the reckoning. Parisette hails from the back-to-form Henry Cecil yard, and although she has been slightly disappointing since making a winning debut at Windsor, the handicapper has given her a chance here, and she would certainly have claims if learning to settle better. Tesary's second to Tax Free last time looks good form now, as the winner bolted up in a competitive race at Newmarket this week, so she must have a major chance. Roger Charlton's course winner, Jalissa, is another to come into the reckoning but for the selection we'll stick with Abide. Richard Hannon's filly had proved frustrating this season, beaten by a combination of good gorses and bad rides, but she finally rewarded supporters with a classy maiden win over course and distance last time, beating Belle Encore by five lengths. The handicapper has taken a chance by not putting her up in the weights, and with that confidence booster under her belt, Abide is taken to score again in this competitive finale.
