Verdict

A real headscratcher of a finale and Rehabilitation is our pick with Bury Treasure and Thumbs Up respected. Rehabilitation has shown an aptitude for artificial surfaces in the past with a victory on a debut start at Kempton. His recent runs have been respectable enough and from a fair draw and with a visor back on, he has as good a chance as any. Bury Treasure has ran well at Wolverhampton on two starts this term. Thumbs Up has been handicapped over six furlongs so it will be no surprise to see interest now that he is tried over eight. Dea Caelestis was well punted at this track last time out and was ultimately well held. Lady Amberlini ran well from a good draw at Kempton last time out. Harting Hill is tried with a professional jockey this time around. Charming Tale has made a habit of finishing close up in similar contests. Rehabilitation is not without doubts but is a sporting selection in a wide open looking contest.
