No Time gets the confident vote in the finale with Valiant Romeo and Royal Guest rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Mr Rooney and although having a penalty for that win he looks sure to get a strong pace which he needs to be seen at his best, and from his good draw he is hard to oppose. Valiant Romeo will make a bold bid to make all the running but he looks sure to be taken on for the lead and he looks opposable on that basis. Royal Guest is another that could go well on his latest second behind Hello Roberto but consistency is not his strong point. Splendidio won well last time out when beating Savannah Forest and with the booking of Liam Jones catching the eye he should be watched in the market. Of the others Moromito has won off a higher mark in the past but for the winner we return to No Time who still looks ahead of the handicapper.
