    Verdict

    A small field goes to post for the finale and it looks a match between Nadeszhda and Nightwatchman and the confident vote goes to Nadeszhda. The Sir Mark Prescott trained horse has been a revelation since stepped up in trip and he she won with so much authority when winning at Brighton when defeating Scenic Lady that she is hard to oppose despite the rise in the weights. Nightwatchman looks the only conceivable danger but he will do well to give weight and a beating to Nadeszhda. The remainder need to improve on their latest efforts to trouble the selection.
