A desperately tricky finale in which many have questions to answer of one sort or another. Bigbadboy and Graceful Act are recent winners who may prefer further. Sooqaan has a much sought after rider on board but he is looking difficult to catch right at present. Relight My Fire is in good form and goes well here. Faster ground may be the key to him and preference is for ELLAAL . Ruth Carr has her team in excellent shape and the recent Ripon winner has shown he is one who is more than capable of stringing a couple of victories together once he hits form. Ingleby Spring is on a good mark and makes each-way appeal.
