        Verdict

        A tricky finale but the consistent Always Archie warrants respect as he has the highest official rating of these. The Banastoir is another to consider while Bound For Glory has won here in the past. I Believe won in a canter between the flags earlier this month and has her mares’ allowance. James King has a good record on PRESENTANDCORRECT in point-to-points. Now 16, his mount is no spring chicken and hasn’t run under Rules since 2014 but he wouldn’t be turning out here if he wasn’t still enjoying himself.
