Verdict

Endless Summer, Whitbarrow and Linda Green are three against the field in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Linda Green. The selection was an unlucky in running second behind Rosappena last time out, runs off the same mark here and with the apprentice taking off a handy three pound she looks the one to be on. Endless Summer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bahamian Ballet he again has conditions to suit and will not be far away. Whitbarrow is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Ballybunion but consistency is not his strong point so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder The Crooked Ring has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price while Convince shaped as if returning to form last time and is another that could go well but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Linda Green.
