Decency looks the sort to improve and his yard have started the season well, however the solid recent form comes from Cookie Galore and DRUBINCA and marginal preference is for the last-named. The Stuart Williams-trained gelding may not be the most straight-forward of horses however he looked ready to win when well-backed on his latest start at Wolverhampton. He found plenty of trouble before ending up a fast-finishing fourth and with better luck in running today he should go close. Via Aurelia may find some improvement now going handicapping off a lowly mark, Turf Time and Noverillo are both consistent without winning, whilst Catawollow ran her best race to date at Wolverhampton last time and she looks handicapped to win races. Rightcar is a course winner and he is rated better than a Wolverhampton effort last time would suggest, but a more obvious danger is Cookie Galore who is 7lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton but the form looks solid (runner-up run well twice since). Sunrise Lyric's third to Usquaebach is solid handicapping form in the context of this finale, however we are happy to side with Drubinca as the nomination.
