      Verdict

      Italian Romance gets the confident vote in the finale with Alonso de Guzman and Kingsholm rating the main dangers. The selection won well when last seen when beating Chia and although having a 267 day break to overcome he has gone well fresh in the past and against mainly exposed rivals he is taken to win again. Alonso de Guzman rates the main danger on his best form but his best efforts have come over a longer trip and he looks opposable on tha basis. Kingsholm was a fair second behind Scamperdale last time and is another with place claims but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder, Daring Affair is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another thast is hard to win with and for the winner we return to the progressive Italian Romance.
