Wednesdays Boy, Iberian Light and Grand Palace look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the tentative vote is given to Wednesdays Boy. The selection was a fair second behind Moody Tunes last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Iberian Light rates the main danger on his latest third behind Wings Of Change especially as the drop in trip is sure to suit. Grand Palace won well last time when beating Markestino but this looks tougher and he may struggle under his penalty. Of thew remainder Wee Charlie Castle is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Wednesdays Boy.
