A competitive finale confined to conditional riders and RUNSHAN is the selection to land it. The selection was an easy winner on his penultimate start but his third last time was a good effort on ground that would not have been totally to his liking. Easy Dancer is a maiden after eight starts but has indicated that as he gains experience he might be able to land a race of this nature while the yards horses have proven that they are forward even at this early stage of the season. Sarobar needs to put behind two rather disappointing efforts of late while Charmahal has slipped to what could be a lenient mark. Top-weight Rash Moment would have chances on picks of his form while the ex-Irish Bowling Green is not the force of old but if supported on his UK debut it should be noted. Runshan is given the nod to land the finale.
