Skiddaw Wolf, La Vie Est Belle and Bint Royal are the three for the shortlist in a wide open finale and the vote is given to Bint Royal. The selection is a tough mare who has been given a short break since her last run on the AW at Wolverhampton when she was beaten behind Flying Edge. However, she is on a good mark and she looks the percentage call. Skiddaw Wolf has got an obvious chance on his best form and he ran well last time when second behind Orpen Wide at Southwell. However, he has been off the track since December and he may just need the run today. La Vie Est Belle will be suited by the return to this trip after failing to get home at Catterick last time behind Ballyhurry. Linda Green is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Bint Royal.
