        Verdict

        Our Putra gets the vote in a moderate finale with Bel Cantor and Opera Writer the most likely dangers. The selection hails from a yard in form and will have ground conditions to suit. Michael Jarvis has an impressive strike-rate in these type of events and if the market signs are good then he should take all the beating. Bel Cantor ran well from a wide draw at Thirsk last time when second behind Royal Envoy, and he has got form with cut in the ground. Opera Writer showed decent form on all three starts as a juvenile and he should be suited by the step-up in trip after a disappointing effort last time. Josarty ran well for a long way last time and is another with place claims, but for the winner we will stick with Our Putra.
