Verdict

A small field goes to post for the finale and Be The Tops, Glinger, Behzad and Lion Guest look the ones to concentrate on and we will take a chance on Be The Tops. The five-year-old had Behzad two lengths behind when winning last time out and although he is worse of at the weights he won with a shade in hand and is taken to score again. Glinger is another worthy off respect he was second behind Lion Guest last time but is 13 pound better off here so he should reverse placings. Son Of Snurge looks out classed so in a tight affair we are happy to stick with Be The Tops.
