Innclassic, Hello Roberto and Orchestration form the shortlist in the finale and the vote is given to Hello Roberto. The selection hinted at a return to form in a much better race than this at Catterick last time when she wasn't beaten all that far behind Mystery Pips. She overcame a poor draw that day to put in a big run and if she can run up to that level today then she should take plenty of beating. Innclassic is held by our selection from a race here last month and just as on that occasion, the chances are there will not be a great between them today. Orchestration won well over today's trip at Southwell last time when beating Vlasta Weiner. He is clearly on good terms with himself but his very best form is over slightly further and for that reason we will take him on. On The Trail has won over this course and distance and may represent some each-way value, but for the winner we will stick with the in-form Hello Roberto.
