        In depth

        Verdict

        Rodolfo, Ashley Brook and Rohan look the principals in a competitive finale but the confident vote goes to Rodolfo. The five year old from the Oliver Sherwood yard won well last time out when defeating Hot Produxion and although he has a penalty for that win he has plenty of scope for improvement and he will be hard to beat. Ashley Brook rates the main danger on his latest second behind Albuhera as that form looks rock solid but he may be seen to even better effect over a longer trip. Rohan was a fair second behind Themanfromcarlisle when last seen but that was 285 days ago and he may just need the run. Over The Creek is a well bred sort from a top yard and is worth noting in the market While Dragons Dream was a good second on his debut in a bumper behind Well Gone and can only improve but we will side with the more experienced Rodolfo.
