      Verdict

      All have chances with just 2lb between the quintet on official ratings and it's case of selection by elimination. Bridge That Gap is unproven at the trip and Underwritten's recent successes arrived in selling grade whilst Choral Prince has not always looked enthusiastic and has yet to travel further than 1m4f. We are left with DR FINLEY and Outback, third and fourth here just six days ago at today's trip when the former was over two lengths clear of his reopposing rival. He is also the only course and distance winner on show, handles fast ground and stays further so stamina is assured. He does hold Outback on recent running and gets the vote.
