Phone In gets the confident vote in the finale with Mighty Dancer and English City rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Permanent Way last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he will be very hard to beat. Mighty Dancer rates the main danger on his latest third behind Lester Leaps In. However, he still remains a maiden and although he could go well others are preferred today. English City hails from a yard in top form but he has yet to prove he stays this far so for that reason he is overlooked. Bolckow is unexposed and could easily improve over this longer trip while Cartoonist hails from a yard in form and could go well at a price, but for the winner we return to the progressive Phone In.
