        Verdict

        Let It Burn may pay to follow first time out, with Clay Hollister, Darksideofthemoon, and Snakecharm all to be considered. This is a tricky finale from a punting point of view, with newcomers from top yards in attendance. With that in mind it may pay to follow the market closely, but we shall nominate the Pipe debutante Let It Burn as the tentative selection. The French-bred is a half-brother to winning hurdler Lady Argument and is sure to have been taught his job well. That same comment applies to the likes of Clay Hollister, Snakecharm and Ballamusic who all make some appeal on breeding and appear to be likely types for the future. Of those to have raced so far, Darksideofthemoon makes most appeal, having stayed on in the closing stages on his Folkestone debut three months ago. Bets should be kept to the bare minimum here, with the pin coming down on Let It Burn.
