He's The Boss, Wrags To Riches and Lord Dundaniel are the principles in this tricky finale and He's The Boss is given the nomination. The selection was a fair third at Warwick behind Inglis Drever and if he can reproduce that effort here he will take some stopping. Wrags To Riches has run some good races in defeat and was a good second behind Grey Report last time. He clearly has plenty of ability but is still a maiden so is opposed. Lord Dundaniel was a good second behind The Dark Lord last time but he gave the impression that he would be suited by a longer trip. Pass Me By was very disappointing last time and something may have been amiss but he would have definite place claims on his previous course and distance win over Mister Mustard. Not an easy race to predict to round off proceedings, but He's The Boss is in good heart and is put forward as the one to beat.
