        Verdict

        A low key finale, with TANGERINE TREES carrying our support, being preferred to Royal Acclamation and Howards Tipple. A course and distance winner last time out, he's running well back on turf following a winter on the Polytrack, and is Brian Smart's only runner on the card. A high draw can only aid his cause, especially as he's giving away plenty of weight all round. Royal Acclamation has shown some improvement since having a visor fitted, and that stays on. He may attempt to blast away to try and make all. Howards Tipple is a little quirky and lacks consistency, but on his day could be good enough. Ingleby Princess won this last year, but has done little of note since. She's David Barron's only runner tonight, and the yard's coming back into form. Not many of these are that good, but the one we like with decent, recent form is Tangerine Trees.
