Verdict
Brave Dane, Craobh Rua, and Kew Jumper look the three to concentrate on in a competitive finale and the vote goes to Brave Dane. The selection improved through out the flat season and he looked to have brought that improvement over hurdles when defeating Seeyaaj last time out he remains on a fair mark and again has conditions to suit so he will be hard to beat. Craobh Rua rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tarboush but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Kew Jumper is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Island Stream last time and is sure to have come on for the run but some of his rivals look to be more leniently handicapped. Of the remainder Batten Down has shown very little but it is interesting that his shrewd connections are still persevering with him so he is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Brave Dane.
