Verdict
FINAL SALUTE has form at the track and can defy top-weight in a very competitive heat. Bryan Smart's charge ran well at Redcar on his latest start and looks one of the more reliable propositions. Best Known Secret seemed to show improved form at Catterick last time and is off a lowly mark still while Pavement Games won at Kempton four starts ago but is now tried in a visor after her form tailed off. Sophie's Beau's rating is in freefall but a fourth place at Beverley in September hinted that he isn't a forlorn hope.
