Verdict
Curtail, Tony The Tap and Efistorm look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the vote is given to Curtrail. The selection was a good second behind Barney McGrew last time out. That form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Tony The Tap rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Efistorm will find this easier than when well behind River Falcon last time out his yard are in form and he should be watched in the market. Of the remainder the booking of Ryan Moore for Canadian Danehill catches the eye and he could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Curtail
