Recent winner Ruwain is taken to land this finale at the expense of Tizzy May and Gulf Coast. The selection won at Great Leighs last week and is only one pound higher in the weights as a result. Connections have picked a decent lady rider and if able to recapture his recent form he ought to go close once again. Tizzy May caught the eye when running second to Gulf Coast over and distance for which he is now one pound better off. Whether or not that is enough to reverse the placings this time around remains to be seen but both have to be treated with respect once again and any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Ruwain
