Forest Tune, Prairie Law, Tintawn Gold and Burnt Copper are the ones to concentrate on in the finale with the narrow vote going to Prairie Law The selection finished behind Forest Tune at Newmarket last time but has a handy pull in the weights for a beating of less than 2 lengths. Forest Tune is dropped in grade slightly after running well when fifth behind Jacaranda in that competitive event at Newmarket. Frankie Dettori takes over in the plate and with conditions to suit he looks to have strong place claims. Tintawn Gold was a good second behind Toccata Aria at Warwick last time but he is dropped in trip here and the suspicion is that this may now a little on the sharp side for him. Burnt Copper was disappointing last time at Chepstow but he would have claims on the strength of his recent win at Pontefract. However, in an open race we will make Prairie Law the selection.
