        Verdict

        Louphole, Caustic Wit and Summer Recluse are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Louphole. The selection won well last time when beating Blessed Place, that form has since been franked and despite his penalty under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Caustic Wit rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Summer Recluse is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Louphole he is better off at the weights with the selection here but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Buy On The Red has dropped to hand handy mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Louphole who has everything in his favour.
