Verdict

Glenfarclas Boy, All Sonsilver and Looking Forward look the principals in this competitive finale and we will side with All Sonsilver. The gelding from the Martin Todhunter yard was a fair second behind Strong Resolve last time and with the drop in distance on this stiffer course sure to suit he will be hard to beat despite top weight. Glenfarclas Boy rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Just Sooty and although he has risen in the weights he will not be far away with conditions again in his favour. Looking Forward is also worthy of respect but his best form is on fast ground and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Shining Tyne is well weighted on his best form but remains a maiden after 26 runs so for the winner we return to All Sonsilver
