Puya, Peruvian Prince and Sonny Parkin are the three to take out of the finale with the vote going to Puya. The selection had a successful start to his two and three year old career but has since found things tough but the handicapper has relented slightly and although he was well beaten at Chepstow last time out in better company he has shown previous form which is enough to win a race like this so he is taken to get back to winning ways. Peruvian Prince has not been seen out since April when third to Polish Index at Yarmouth. He is relatively unexposed as he has only had six runs to date. He has shown ability and has to be short listed. Sonny Parkin ran back to form over course and distance last time out when third of eleven so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Puya.
