Ginger Ice could be the one to land this very tricky finale, Eurolink Artemis and Escalade could provide most danger. George Margarson's gelding has yet to win a race but has gone very close here in the past. In fact he returned to the track here in November and wasn't disgraced behind Eddies Jewel, going down by just four lengths. That was over the mile trip, but he has performed with credit in the past over this distance, and he looks the one to beat. Eurolink Artemis has at least won a couple of races earlier in the season, including one on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. He has disappointed in recent outings but if he puts his best foot forward today he should be in the shake up. Escalade has contested better events than this during the summer and should be good enough to reach the frame. So not a race to get too involved in financially, but Ginger Ice could be the safest bet.
