Wingspeed looks the pick in this fascinating finale, Highest Regard and Form And Beauty look the pick of the others. Amanda Perrett's colt has been knocking on the door in two races this season and certainly deserves to get his head in front. His seasonal bow came at Bath where he chased home Wavertree Warrior, and then he found Luca Cumani's Edas just too good at Folkestone. There appears to be nothing of their calibre in today's event and he should be capable of getting his head in front. Highest Regard has had plenty of chances and ran a solid enough race last time when third behind Fullandbuy at Wolverhampton. He should be capable of making the frame. Form And Beauty showed plenty of promise on his debut when third to Etaar at Chepstow. That was on soft ground, but if he handles this firmer surface he should be involved in the finish. The only other one with any sort of a chance appears to be Ardglass, and so Wingspeed doesn't have too difficult a task and is a confident choice.
