Prairie Sun is given the vote in the finale ahead of the most likely dangers Greenwich Meantime and Inchpast. The selection has been enjoying a fine season and has been steadily rising in the weights as a consequence. The handicapper may not yet have her measure as she ran well when narrowly beaten behind Argentum last time, and with conditions to suit she should make a bold bid. Greenwich Meantime was only narrowly beaten behind Let It Be at Haydock last time but he has had plenty of chances and he is not one to place a great deal of faith in. Inchpast will be suited by this return to the turf after disappointing on the all-weather last time. He had previously won well at Salisbury and is respected. Wing Collar hinted at a return to form last time and is another who could go well, but for the winner we will return to Prairie Sun.
