Secret Liaison gets the narrow vote in the finale with Toffee Vodka and Golden Square the main dangers. The selection is a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and he looked like one to stay on the right side of when beating Elegant Times at Musselburgh last time. He does have a penalty for that win but he is improving and he is the one to beat. Toffee Vodka rates the main danger as she is well-drawn and does have the services of course specialist Ryan Moore in the plate. However, she is probably better over further and for that reason we will take her on. Golden Square is another who is better over further but he did run well last time behind What-A-Dancer and he is entitled to some consideration on the back of that effort. Cool Sting should be suited by the drop to this trip so is not without a chance, but for the winner we will stick with Secret Liaison.
