Verdict

Orion Express, Tiger Moss and OLIVINO make up the shortlist for the finale, with preference for Bernard Llewellyn's top weighted gelding. He's been showing some good improved form of late, winning a similar contest at Wetherby last month. He'll want a decent surface though, without much rain. Orion Express is turned out quickly under a penalty for winning last week by a country mile at Exeter. This is a step down in trip, which given the weight he's carrying is a positive, but he's still well below a previous winning mark. He's the only one in the field to have won at this distance. Tiger Moss drops in trip too, and keeps the cheekpieces on following an encouraging run last time out; lightly raced for a seven year old, she's been placed three times in her ten outings, but a contest at this kind of level should be within her scope. A trappy finale, with preference being for Olivino.
