    Verdict

    This is a really competitive finale and we will side with Bollin Derek to get the better of Let It Be and Jeepstar. The selection is running really well at present and he deseves to get his head in front after a string of consistent efforts. If he reproduces his latest run he will not be far away at the finish. Let It Be was a fortunate winner at Catterick last time and the suspicion is that she is better on a faster surface so for that reason we will oppose her today. Jeepstar is interesting as he hails from a shrewd yard and he was well-backed when finishing second behind Linden Lime last time. If there is mareket support again today then it could pay to take the hint. Aleron is always capable of getting competitive in these type of events and he could go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Bollin Derek.
