Mariet has gone up 5lb since finishing second at Fontwell in May but is still one of the more likely winners of this finale. Farasi Kubwa is eased in grade on his handicap debut and Sweet Boy Vic is entitled to be thereabouts on seconds here and at Wincanton last winter. But Chris Gordon also runs THE SELECTOR, who has been given a real chance by the handicapper dropped 3lb since her second at Fontwell in June - Killian Moore takes off a further 5lb. Little Roxy has been a regular here down the years but hasn't won for more than three years and Landerbee was beaten in a seller on his latest start in May and has been hard to train.
