Verdict

Peopleton Brook, Special Gold and Angelofthenorth look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the vote is given to Peopleton Brook. The selection looks to be improving and he is chasing the hat-trick tonight. He has won on both of his starts since changing stables, and as Milton Bradley's string continue in fine form he is difficult to oppose. Special Gold ran well over 6f at Redcar last time when a good second behind Skiddaw Wolf. He is equally effective over this trip and with conditions to suit he is respected. Angelofthenorth finished in mid-division in a competitive handicap at Haydock last time and he will need to step-up on that effort to make the frame here. The booking of Tony Culhane for Yorkshire Lad catches the eye and he is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Peopleton Brook.
