Verdict

If a return to hurdles sparks a revival from MY VIRTUE she might be the way to go in this finale. Last month's Uttoxeter runner-up Northern Rose is second choice. Cheeky Lady and Lynsey Larue rate possible improvers in handicaps and need monitoring in the betting.

  1. MY VIRTUE
  2. NORTHERN ROSE (IRE)
  3. CHEEKY LADY
