Final Go will be winning soon judged on last month’s second over track and trip when ahead of both Buccaneers Vault and Epeius. Upstaging wasn’t beaten that far when fourth in the Ayr Bronze Cup last time and can figure while Great Shout was placed at Yarmouth and Three Card Trick finished closer at Chelmsford having slipped down the weights this year. But novice winner FUTURISTIC was placed here under a penalty recently and James Tate’s colt may prove good enough with further progress expected on his handicap debut.
