Verdict
Midnight King may be capable of better and Broken Eagle was just caught over 3m last time at New Forest so the drop in distance might suit. Carnglave Cat is very consistent and Katy Lyon's mount must have a leading chance with Session Or Ression and Sonoftheking others to consider. STAR OF MASSINI doesn't stand much racing but is a useful performer when he gets his chance and gets the nod in this finale. Star Rise and Tompatpeg look best of the rest.
