Verdict

A competitive finale with many chances but ATHOLLBLAIR BOY arrives here in excellent heart and seems sure to give us a good run. He's come back in fine nick this year and hopefully Lewis Edmunds will be able to find the right gaps at the right time as he does need to be produced as late as possible. Ruth Carr runs three useful sprinters but all return from a lay-off and it's hard to be confident about which way to go with them, whilst Paul Midgley is doubly represented by Russian Realm and Buccaneers Vault, both of whom can be expected to go well. Hopefully the market will reflect stable expectations about the pair. Luis Vaz De Torres also returns to action with some useful form in the book but his best to date has come over a seventh furlong so this trip may prove too sharp.
