An ultra-competitive finale in which the vote goes to TUDORISTA, who is yet to get her head in front but Edward Power's mare is well and truly knocking on the door in recent weeks. Head For Home confirmed his return to form in a change of headgear at Down Royal 10 days ago so he rates as a threat, with Le Fanu, Westin Pimpernel and Mellem a handful of others worth considering, as well.
