With little form to go on the finale is a difficult race to fathom, but Bajan Girl, Maidstone Mistral, Warm and Into the Shadows are sure to be thereabouts and we will take a chance on the first mentioned. The selection hails from the Martin Pipe yard who do well with horses in this sphere, and she is sure to have been well schooled for this her debut over the obstacles. The same applies to Pipe's other runner Maidstone Mistral, and if either is supported in the market then they should not be ignored. Warm and Into the Shadows represent Mary Reveley and again their chances will be best judged on whether or not there is any market confidence. Of the rest, Serpentine Rock is from an in-form yard and could go well, but in a race where the market will provide the most clues, we will make Bajan Girl our tentative choice.
