Look So, Oscarshall and Bid For Gold look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the nomination is given to Look So. The selection won well last time out despite running green when beating Cape Hawk and off what looks a fair mark on his handicap debut he is entitled to go well. Oscarshall rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Summer Dancer. He won't mind the ground and he should not be far away at the finish. Bid For Gold is another that could go well as he beat Sharpattack last time out; this does look tougher though and he is far from straightforward so can be opposed. Arch of Titus and Nadawat are others with place claims on their best form but they appear to have regressed of late. Look So looks the most reliable option here and is taken to score.
