Verdict

KEEPER'S CHOICE is just 1lb higher than when winning at Sandown last summer, and has the assistance of the excellent Scott McCullagh, so could be the answer to a tricky finale. Bristol Missile seemed to benefit from a wind operation when winning at Haydock, and had previously won his maiden on quick ground, so should be able to build on that, while Grapevine and High Acclaim have their chances based on recent efforts, with the former the type who could benefit from headgear.
  1. Keeper's Choice

  3. Grapevine
