Verdict

Hellfire Club, Shade Bonny and Great Grimsby form the shortlist in this bumper to close the card and the vote is given to Hellfire Club. The selection was a beaten favourite last time at Newton Abbott but he had previously shaped well on his debut over this course and distance and with the return to this quicker surface in his favour he is taken to score. Shade Bonny is another that has shaped with plenty of promise, including on this track, but he looks as though he might be suited by more of a stamina test and for that reason he is taken on. Great Grimsby should be suited by the slight drop in trip as he didn't quite get home on his debut at Market Rasen. He could go well along with Pretty Neat who has to be of interest on her racecourse bow. However, we will stick with Hellfire Club to lead them home.
