      Verdict

      In the finale, Brigadore gets the vote ahead of Impostor and Reinstated. Meadow Mischief still has it to prove from his revised mark in terms of winning, while Impostor has threatened more than he has delivered so far but the longer trip might help his cause. Brigadore caught the eye staying on late over course and distance last time - his first try at the trip - and he gets plenty of respect today. Chronomatic improved on the all-weather last time but needs to prove it on Turf now. Reinstated is a potential improver stepping into handicap company for the first time, but La Via Ferrata's recent win came at claiming level. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Brigadore.
