Verdict
A large field goes to post for the finale and many can be given chances on there best form but the principals look to be Diamond Shannon, Frank's Quest and Kanz Wood and the tentative vote goes to Diamond Shannon. The selection won well at the course last time out when defeating Leyaaly and although he is stepping up in trip he is taken to score from a good draw. Frank's Quest rates the main danger he also won well last time out when defeating Celtic Thatcher but he only had a head to spare there and it was only a seller and this looks much more competitive. Kanz Wood is another worthy of respect he has dropped to a fair mark is from a shrewd yard and ran as if about to hit form when third behind Old Bailey last time so he is worth noting in the market. Libre is another on a handy mark but he is not proven on this surface so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Hoh's Back goes well for an inexperienced jockey and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Diamond Shannon.
