        Verdict

        An open-looking finale, though Zefferino was due to run last night at Kempton. Sooqaan is better on Fibresand so this can go to CHAMPAGNE PINK, who rattled up a hat-trick here at the end of last year and showed she wasn’t finished yet when only finding one too good over course and distance last month. Dark Alliance couldn’t complete the hat-trick off this mark here 10 days ago and has never raced over a trip this far but Barnaby Brook looks a danger to all from near the bottom of the weights, though he may still be a couple of pounds too high. What Usain has a good record on this track and is another to consider along with Buckland Beau.
