Question marks against most in a tricky finale. Limit Up seems impossible and looks exposed considering he's still a three-year-old but Royal Straight and Joshua The First are closely matched on recent form whilst I'm Super Too, a course and distance winner, has decent claims if forgiven a poor effort last time at York. DUBIOUS ESCAPADE has her quirks but a recent Carlisle victory was achieved in some style and the Dubawi filly is up to defying her penalty if arriving here in the same mood.
