Verdict

An interesting little heat with the recent course winner Kez, likely to be a warm order. His previous win over this distance here, was given a boost by both the second and third, who have gone on to win since. He is not guarenteed to have the fast pace he needs and he may be worth taking on under his penalty. Lord Eurolink comes here in good heart having only just been denied at Leicester. He has been raised 2lb for that effort, but a bigger worry is the trip, as he has never won beyond ten-furlongs. Valeureux is respected with Sarah Bosley on board, but the ground may be too fast for him, while Open Arms may find one or two too sharp for him over this trip. Final Dividend, who goes well for his amateur rider gets the vote. In good form of late, he is not a complicated ride, so the lack of a pacemaker will not worry him and he is taken to land the hat-trick.
