Wulimaster, Our Putra and Hooplah form the shortlist in the finale with Our Putra nominated to lead them home. The selection did nothing wrong on his racecourse debut when he finished a fair third behind Bel Cantor at Pontefract. He is sure to come on for the experience and this colt might just be up to getting his head in front here. Wulimaster could give him the most to think about as his effort at Bath last time can be forgiven as he did not seem to be suited by the soft surface. He looks the type who may do better when he goes handicapping, but this is not a strong race and he should be thereabouts at the finish. Hooplah is a pivotal filly from the John Gosden yard and she is certainly one to note in the market, while Hazelnut is from a yard in form and is also respected. Our Putra made a pleasing impression on his debut and gets our vote to land the nightcap.
