Verdict

A good winner from this mark at Ascot in September, FINAL WATCH hasn't been seen to best effect all 3 starts since, incluidng when finishing a creditable fourth on return over C&D 17 days ago. He could be worth chancing to build on that, with The Gatekeeper and Accidental Agent others to consider. Darkness isn't out of things either in a refitted visor.
