Verdict
This looks a competitive finale with several holding solid claims. Nickelsonthedime has been eased in the weights but Ballymilan and Shinobi are returning from a break. Drenagh was knocking on the door around the turn of the year but POTTLERATH wasn’t winning out of turn at Warwick last time and that should have boosted his confidence. Dan's Chosen still has a bit of scope and, along with the consistent Wetanwindy, shouldn’t be far away with Glance From Clover having a first outing since wind surgery.
