Verdict

SHIP TO SHORE is very much unproven on Turf but Pat Chamings’ gelding put up improved form when taking honours at Southwell last month and could be the answer to this affair. Gary Moore won this finale last year so Daphne May is no forlorn hope off top weight. Geelong ran better than his finishing position suggested at Brighton and is respected. Cloudy Rose started her climb up the ratings with victory at Brighton and she attempts to make it four in a row off just a 9lb higher mark . Iconic Mover searches for an overdue first success.
