Winds of Change, Emotive, Davidia and Kalantera are a handful against the field in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Winds Of Change. The selection was a fair third behind Malech last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here will be hard to beat. Emotive rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tamagin but hew has yet to prove he stays this far and he looks opposable on that basis. Davidia gave the impression she would be suited by this longer trip when a staying on fourth behind Wagtail last time out and should be noted in the market. Kalantera is another worthy of respect now that she tries handicaps for the first time and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Henry Holmes is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Winds Of Change.
