LADY HESTIA looks the obvious choice in the finale and she gets our vote over the likes of Warrior Conquest and Where's Susie. It is hard to see too many negatives about our selection as she is in great form and although she has a penalty for her most recent success, she won with plenty in hand and there should be more to come. The only worry is the trip as she has yet to race over this far. Warrior Conquest has been placed twice in three starts here and it was an encouraging effort last time to finish third behind Alnwick. He remains unexposed and it would not be a surprise if he were to take another step in the right direction. Where's Susie has been in good form but she has yet to be even placed on the all-weather and she is another who has yet to prove that she is at her best over this trip. Colourful Move is guaranteed to see this out and he could go well at a price. But Lady Hestia makes more appeal and she gets the vote.
