A fiendishly-difficult finale to solve with cases able to be made for several. The vote goes to ZARAAHMANDO, who has made the frame 7 times this season and Andrew Slattery's 4-y-o can belatedly open his 2026 account. Bundle of Interest got closer than previously this season last time and now reunited with Billy Lee, she could provide most resistance. Bay of Dreams and the selection's stablemate Queen Aethelflaed can fight out minor honours.
