        Verdict

        Though restricted to apprentices, this is a decent finale with a few arriving in good form though Tynecastle Park stays further and is best on the all-weather. Third here in May, Ghadbbaan was well supported in a better race at York subsequently and the versatile Stormin Norman wasn’t beaten far over 2m at Ripon last time. Galidermes has won twice over 1m4f this year but is upped in trip along with Steel An Icon, who is on a four-timer. DEREHAM ran well off this mark over course and distance after scoring at Yarmouth and John Berry’s improver is preferred to the hat-trick seeker Bollin Neil, who would have preferred a softer surface.
