Verdict

Spark Up gets the confident vote in the finale with Sir Bond and Double Mystery rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Topiary Ted last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Sir Bond rates the main danger on his best form as he has dropped to a handy mark but he showed little last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Double Mystery is another that could go well if the fitting of a first time tongue tie brings about some improvement. Reveur is from a yard in form and could go well at a price from a good draw but for the winner we return to Spark Up who at least ran well last time out.
