An open contest to bring the curtain down on the card and METISIAN gets the vote after a couple of very solid efforts and on the basis that this stiff 5f could play to his strengths. Of the two previous winners of this race, Jack Luey looks the more likely to go close to a repeat, while Jacob's Pillow, Oriental Splendour and Crosse Fire should be among those in the shake-up for prize money.
