Verdict

A tricky finale in which top weight Monsieur Glory seems sure to be thereabouts. He is not passed over lightly, while the in-form Polar Forest , Sir Jack and Hannington are also respected. The vote, though, goes to ROYAL RESERVE , who looks to be running over his optimum distance this time and whose stable has started to fire in a few winners.
