Mister Completely gets the nod in the finale with Blueberry Hill and Shekan Star forwarded as the main dangers from the rest. Shekan Star hails from a yard that have enjoyed a good run over the last few weeks and, as she is open to more improvement than most of her elder rivals, it will come as no surprise to see this daughter of Sri Pekan go close in this company. Paul Eddery gets on well with her and she is one to seriously consider if the market vibes are positive about her chance. Blueberry Hill has been in good form and is a likely type for a race such as this. The four-year-old proved his well being over course and distance just over a fortnight ago and he should make a bold bid again here. Nevertheless, Mister Completely, with a 7lb claimer booked for the ride, just gets the vote on this occasion. William Carson has a long way to go to emulate the riding achievements of his grandfather but he can take a further step up the ladder if all goes to plan with Mister Completely today.
