Verdict

Beneking is the choice in this wide open finale, Tiviski and Manic appear to be the main dangers. The selection was most impressive when beating David's Mark at Wolverhampton last month and wasn't disgraced next time when finishing aclose up third behind Desert Lover. He still looks on a very decent mark and he could be the best option. Tiviski rarely runs a bad race and put in another solid effport last time out when a close up third behind Million Percent, a similar run today should see him involved in the finish. Manic has to enter calculations on a recent second behind Shirley Oaks over course and distance and could prove to be each-way value. Of the rest Edin Burgher will not be far away in his his hat-trick bid, but Beneking looks the pick of the weights today and gets our vote.
