Silvertown Sky gets the confident vote to win this final with Hillbilly Cat and Diktalex rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Phinerine last time out, this looks easier and he need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Hillbilly Cat rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Diktalex is another that could go well now that he returns to this grade having been outclassed in a handicap last time out. Of the remainder Memphis Man is dropping in class and steeping up in trip and is another to note in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Silvertown Sky
