In the finale, Majehar is selected ahead of Lobengula and Seldemosa. Kareeb remains very well-weighted based on 2005 form, while Golden Spectrum holds claims on his May form. Green Pirate comes here on the back of a win but a five-pounds rise makes things trickier. Majehar is on a good roll and comes here on the back of a Kempton win, but he has a penalty to overcome; however, a good run is not ruled out. Following his solid course and distance run last time, Lobengula is set to rise by two pounds in future ratings so rates as a player, while Seldemosa made late gains at Kempton last time and has each-way claims. Merdiff cannot be ruled out if recapturing form from earlier in the year and Grand Palace seemed to put in an improved showing last time and is not ruled out. Overall, though, we will stick with Majehar
