    Verdict

    Secret Liaison, Future's Dream and Keel (IRE), look the three to concentrate on in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Secret Liason. The selection was a fair third off this mark behind Norman Beckett last time out the return to this shorter trip should suit and he looks the one to be on Futures Dream rates the main danger as he won with plenty in hand when beating Northern Baby last time he remains on a handy mark and if he goes on this surface he will be very hard to beat but that is a big if. Keel is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Katie Lawson hails from a yard in form and could go well at a price but her improvement appeared to have flattened out last time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Secret Liasion who looks to have everything in his favour.
