Totally Scottish,,Arch Folly and Tipu Sultan are three against the field in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Arch Folly. The selection was a fair third behind Our Monogram last time out and off the same mark here in what looks an easier race he looks the value bet. Totally Scottish rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Siegfried Night but he is hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Tipu Sultan is another that could go well on his latest second behind Court Of Appeal but that form has since been let down and he is overlooked for that reason. Of the remainder Hugs Destiny looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but he looks a shadow of his former self and with this in mind for the winner we return to Arch Folly to minimum stakes.
