Excellent performer on the AW at Wolverhampton and by no means disgraced on turf either, including 1L third at Windsor (5f) last month. Off the same marks in this and claims off top-weight.

Sole win came in 5f Lingfield novice last term but put up encouraging seasonal return at Newmarket before 3L fourth at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month. Current mark requires a little more.

Winner over 6f here last term and came back after extended absence with 2L fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month. Excuses that day and likely to be sharper for this. Claims.

9/1
Authoritative C&D winner last term but out of her depth in last two starts, including 14L sixth in 5f handicap at Newmarket last month. Needs a bounce back at scene of her best triumph.

Yet to win since debut victory and not troubling the judge in handicap company so far this term. More needed on recent 5L defeat at Windsor (5f) in late June.

Steady progression last term, culminating with good victory at Southwell (5f). Not beaten that far at Wolverhampton (5f) on seasonal bow and should step forward from that. Shortlisted.

Regressed since landing Wolverhampton novice last term and showed little signs of that changing when 6L fifth at Newmarket (5f) last month. Bounce back required now in lesser company.

Verdict

There is one standout contender in this finale contest in the shape of OTAGO, who remains the least exposed in the field. He was carried significantly left in the latter stages of his last contest and remains one of promise, especially with his excellent victory over 6f at the Norfolk track last term. Intimate Moment was a ready winner over C&D last term and that performance cannot be blocked out as she has shown her love for the track, but place claims are made by the likes of Capla Spirit - who was noted as being slow from the stalls last time but should come on markedly for that effort - and Batchelor Boy who fared best out of some re-opposing rivals in a Windsor handicap last time out.
  1. Otago
  2. Capla Spirit
  3. Batchelor Boy
