        Verdict

        Jack Oliver gets the confident vote in the finale, with The Skerret and Tipsy Prince rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Look So under similar conditions, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he looks hard to beat. The Skerret rates the main danger on his latest second behind Mujart and if the fitting of first time cheek pieces brings about some improvement he'll not be far away. Tipsy Prince is game and consistent and is sure to run his race, but he's hard to win with. Dualagi's best form is over a shorter distance and Pont Wood is unexposed and could improve so should be watched in the market. But for the winner we are happy to return to Jack Oliver who has plenty in his favour and looks the one to be on.
