Verdict
Option Money, Masra and Overbranch catch the eye in this concluding bumper, with Option Money taken to make a winning debut. Overbranch has shown promise in similar events at Sedgefield and Wetherby, and can also handle varitions in ground. She can hit the frame at a good price. Masra has clearly got ability but lacks a finishing kick, underlined by his three seconds to date. He will be thereabouts, but may be found wanting for pace again. Jonjo O'Neill has his string in fine form and Option Money may be able to score on his debut. Related to two winners and ridden by his owner here, Option Money is sure to have been well prepared. This does not appear to be the hottest race of this type and Option Money can land the cash.
