In depth

Verdict

The betting will be very informative in this finale, and we will side with Robbie Dye ahead of Monica Rose and Barry The Cracker. The selection was a fair third last time out at Ayr and showed a fair degree of promise, staying on late in the day. He should come on for that run and must have major claims in a weak looking bumper. Barry The Cracker is an interesting newcomer from a strong stable so should be watched for signs of market confidence, whilst Mystically gets weight from most of the runners and should be feared from his shrewd stable. Monica Rose improved last time out at Carlisle after an inauspicious debut, however we will stick with Robbie Dye to take this weak contest.
