Verdict

This is a wide open finale in which McQueen, Secluded, Havetoavit and Market Avenue have to form the shortlist and the vote is given to McQueen. The selection remains on a handy mark and is chasing a hat-trick of wins. He won well last time to defeat Bojangles and although he is slightly better with cut in the ground, the manner of that latest success makes him difficult to oppose. Secluded won on heavy ground last time but is effective on a faster surface and he is from a yard in decent form so has to be worth considering from a good low draw. Havetoavit ran well behind Stephano last time but the winner that day has since gone on to let the form down. Market Avenue is in good form but has got a dreadful draw so looks to have it all to do, and we will stick with McQueen who looks the one they all have to beat.
