Colliers Court could prove to be the answer to the finale with Game On and Jericho III put forward as the main dangers. The selection will relish these conditions and won in impressive style when beating Game On at Ludlow last time. He will again try and dictate the race from the front and he is difficult to oppose. Game On is much better off at the weights so has to be respected, but he was beaten 19l by our selection last time and he may not be as effective on this ground as our choice. Jericho III finished behind Game On over this course and distance last time, but again he has a pull in the weights here and as that was his first run after a break he may be able to turn the tables. Del Trotters was pulled-up on his last racecourse appearance, so he is probably best watched here and we will stick with Colliers Court as our idea of the winner.
