Verdict
Stakes should probably be kept to a minimum in this finale as though Imperial Stargazer boasts the best form on offer here, he finished tailed off on the Polytrack last time. Scarlet Whispers has won twice on the Flat and is entitled to improve on his hurdling debut at Worcester while Darcey Diva has a bit of scope and finished ahead of Celebrian at Southwell. But FIGHTER JET lost confidence when hampered at an early stage on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter. He's better than that and can reverse that form with Are They Your Own and Genes Quest and land this with Kimora best of the rest.
