In a finale where few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken on MOSCOW SPY, who is lightly raced and shaped better than the result on his handicap debut when last seen in April. Just Loose Change is a possible improver now handicapping so he's also on the shortlist along with recent Stratford runner-up Martalmix'jac.
