The strong-travelling Pete has proved a profitable in-running lay for punters as Barry Murtagh's charge usually finds very little off the bridle and is unproven over this trip. MISS TARANTELLA, on the other hand, kept finding more to score over C&D earlier this month and Maurice Barnes' mare looks the most likely winner of this finale. Daasij is 7lb higher than when scoring at Newcastle last month but still makes most appeal of the remainder, though Mrs Eff wasn't beaten far at Wetherby earlier this month and is worth another try over this trip.
