Bon Accord, Court Adjourn and Noble Persian look the main protagonists in this cracking Final, and the confident vote is given to Bon Accord. The selection has been in top form between the flags of late and won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Razer Blade. This has been his long term target all season and the sugesstion is to lump on with conditions ibn his favour. Court Adjourn rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Bedtime Boys but he lacks the scope of the selection and is taken on with this in mind. Noble Persian is another that could go well as he is unbeaten between the flags but his very best for m is with more cut in the ground and he is opposable on that basis. Of the remainder the booking of Micheal Miller for Swift Wood catches the eye and he is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Bon Accord who gets the confident vote.
