Verdict

POET'S PRINCESS might be the answer to this finale in which there are question marks hanging over just about every one of the 11 runners. The first-time blinkers should help and she went very close at this fixture last year. Jack The Truth has a chance if transferring his recent AW form to the turf, and Coverham is another who should be on the premises. Tawaafoq finally got his nose in front last time and that may have boosted his confidence and see him run well again.
  1. Poet's Princess
  2. Tawaafoq
  3. Coverham
