This is the hardest race on the card to work out, so our tentative vote goes to Trojan Flight, with Northern Games, Online Investor and College Maid just three of many dangers. Linda Ramsden's three-year-old has been in great form this season, landing races at Beverley and Redcar and finishing runner-up on three other occasions. The most recent was at Pontefract last month when going down by just half a length to Blue Maeve, if reproducing that effort he should go very close today. Northern Games was just touched off by Locombe Hill over seven furlongs here last time and should appreciate this drop in trip. Online Investor has put in some decent efforts this season without getting his head in front, he's on a winning mark now and can make his presence felt. College Maid has been frustrating to follow this season, but also looks well treated at present. So a very difficult finale but Trojan Flight has as good a claim as any and is given the nod.
