        Verdict

        Kintbury Cross, Marchetta and Gringo look the three against the field in the finale with the vote going to the last named. After wins at Nottingham and Newmarket Gringo looks to have a prime opportunity to land his hat-trick here. Although the handicapper has taken note and therefore this is his toughest test to date he still looks well capable so is worth staying on the right side of. Kintbury Cross has been running well without winning lately and deserves to get his head in front soon. His latest effort when second of twelve at Newbury was a positive run and this horse is worth noting in the market. Marchetta was out classed at Newbury on his penultimate start but when dropped back in grade ran well to win at Lingfield on the all weather. This will be tougher for him so for the winner we return to Gringo.
