A large field goes to post for the finale but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Another Bottle, Loita Hills and Mr Vesuvius with the confident vote going to Another Bottle. The selection was a fair ninth in a much better race than this behind Special Envoy last time out this looks easier and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on especially with a first time tounge tie also been fitted. Lotia Hill rates the main danger on his best form but he has not progressed as expected of late. Mr Vesuvius is from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market but jhis overall profile leaves him with plenty to find. Of the remainder Wheelavit is another thsat showed improved form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Another Bottle.
