    Verdict

    Perkin Warbeck and Winning Show are both weighted to go close in this finale but lack a recent run. Meet Me At Dawn would be the selection if the ground turns soft as she's only 4lb higher than when scoring at Chepstow, though Dalhaan warrants a second look as he's run well on the all-weather since finishing runner-up at Southwell. Terra Bleu looks the pick of Brendan Powell's two runners but let's take a chance on VINTAGE FABRIC. He'll have needed his reappearance at Newton Abbot and is now 7lb lower than when successful over this trip at the Devon track 12 months ago.
