Verdict
An open finale and punters will need their wits about them however the main protagonists appear to be Fealeview Lady and Guilded Warrior and the vote goes to Fealeview Lady. The selection only went down by three parts of a length on his turf debut recently having put in a series of consistent efforts on the all-weather. Assuming that this quicker ground poses no problems, Hughie Morrison's filly can win against her older rivals. Moon Forest warrants respect as a course and distance winner but was well held last time out and needs to step up on that effort although this smaller field may suit. Red Rudy should come on for his recent run behind The Gaikwar, whilst Neon Blue takes a drop in grade which means that he has a decent chance. Gilded Warrior steps up in trip again but his best runs have come over six furlongs, and so we will return to Fealeview Lady as the selection.
