Verdict

This is a tricky finale which can go the way of Missie Baileys who is preferred to Gallego and Blue Beacon. The selection was an impressive winner at Wolverhampton last time when beating Regency Red. She gave the impression that day that she was one to stay on the right side of and she looks to have a really solid chance. Gallego certainly has the ability to win this but he has gone off the boil recently and he may be best watched until he shows some signs of encouragement. Blue Beacon finished down the field at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and she will need to improve for the step-up in trip to get competitive. Melvino shaped with some promise last time and could go well at a price but for the winner we will side with the in-form Missie Baileys.
