        Verdict

        Lii Najma, Kingsmaite and Diamond Dan are three against the field in another wide open finale and the vote is given to Lil Najma. The selection won well last time when making all to beat Dudley Docker and although having a penalty for that win she may well again get an easy lead and with this in mind she will be hard to beat. Diamond Dan rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Newcorp Lad but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Kingsmaite is another that could go well on his best form but he has shown little of late so cannot be put forward with any confidence. Sir Douglas's best form is over a longer trip while Stoic Leader looks weighted up to the hilt and for the winner we return to Lii Najma.
