Doc Row, Corker and Bumper are three against the field in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Doc Row. The selection was doing all his best work at the finish when third behind Snakebite last time out and with the step up in trip looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Corcker rates the main danger on his latest third behind Warningcamp. He is another that will be suited by this longer trip and he should be closely monitored in the market. Bum,per was a fair sort in bumpers but he was a little disappointing on his hurdling debut. However he is sure to have learnt from the experience and should not be written off just yet. Fast Forward showed ability in bumpers and is sure to have been well schooled for this her hurdling debut and is another to note in the market. This is a trappy affair and the market will be all important but for the winner we return to Doc Row.
