Trifti gets the vote in the finale with Casablanca Minx and Scarlet Knight rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Desert Iland Miss last time out. He again has conditions to suit and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Casablanca Minx rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Kansas Gold. He has the plot draw and could go well but he looks weighted up to his best. Scarlet Knight was a fair third behind Henry The Seventh last time and could improve for the fitting of first time cheek pieces. Of the remainder Postsprofit could go well off his low weight while Strawberry Lolly is thrown in on his best form but he is hard to win with and Trifti looks the one to be on.
