Verdict

The admirable Final Drive defied a 10lb rise in the weights to score at Lingfield a week ago. He has a 6lb penalty and a longer trip to overcome here but may well do so. Suits Me remains capable on his day and would be a threat if allowed to set his own pace up front, but the selection is CHAPTER AND VERSE. His latest fourth in a Listed event at Kempton suggests Mike Murphy's charge remains on the upgrade and the likely fast pace here will suit his hold-up style of running. Island Sunset beat three of today's rivals last time and could figure once again.
