        Verdict

        A tricky-looking finale can go the way of David Barron's Et Dona Ferentes, with Hippolyte, Kumakawa and Shunkawakhan making up the shortlist. The last-named finished a creditable third over seven furlongs last month, and stepping up in trip today he holds place claims, although he doesn't appear overly blessed with stamina. Piccolo Prince was a well-beaten third last time out so would need to step up on that effort to trouble the judge today, whilst Hippolyte's second last time out was a big improvement on previous efforts so if continuing to improve he would have place claims at least. Kumakawa is a course and distance winner so merits respect, however a 347-day absence from the track tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Et Dona Ferentes is fairly unexposed and a reproduction of his last run when runner-up to Kahlua Bear at Wolverhampton would see him firmly in the shake-up. His stable is in good form at present and so he gets the tentative vote to land this open finale.
