The final race is one of the most wide open and should provide a fine spectacle. River Of Fire caught the eye when staying on at Yarmouth and is no back number, while Sashay hated the soft ground at Bath on her last outing and was eased by Pat Eddery when beaten. That run should be overlooked, and this dual course and distance score should give her true running here. Royal Partnership won his first race for two years when successful here on Friday but has more to do, but Ivorsagoodun and Bold Ewar can be expected to play a prominent role. However, the TEAMtalk selection is is Bobby Kennard. Jamie Osborne's three-year-old has been a model of consistency since making his debut in May without managing to get his head in front, but can be considered unlucky not to open his account here a week ago. Sent off as the market leader, he had every chance when the eventual winner Raise A Melody crossed in front of him close home. Martin Dwyer is in the saddle again and will be hoping to gone better. There is no reason why he should not.
