UBENKOR is the obvious starting point in the finale having romped home from a career low mark in an amateur riders' handicap over course and distance and a 6lb penalty shouldn't be enough to prevent him from following up. The form of those races is sometimes suspect though and this field does look stronger with Watch Chain, Ingleby King and Morocchius amongst the opposition. Olney Lass ran up to form in a maiden last time and can get involved whilst Plenilune has finished just outside the places in similar contests on a number of occasions and is another with each-way claims.
