AUNTIE MAME has the form to land the finale with both Shouldntbethere and Cossack Prince worth noting. The selection has been a model of consistency this season winning twice and rarely being out of the frame. He was not beaten far when finishing second to Afram Blue at Salisbury at the beginning of the month and if he can run up to that form once again he will take all the beating. Shouldntbethere caught the eye when finishing second over course and distance last time out. That said he has never been the easiest horse in the world to win with so has to be treated with some caution. Cossack Prince looks well enough treated to be in the shake up. He ran well when second at Great Leighs recently and any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Auntie Mame.
