Verdict

Ignition,Regent's Secret and Barbirolli are a handful against the field in a wide open finale and the tentative vote is given to Ignition. The selection made all and won in game fashion last time out when beating Local Poet. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he again has conditions to suit and he looks a value bet. Regent's Secret rates the main danger on his best form but his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground and he is opposable on that basis. Barbirolli hails from the same yard as the selection but looks the second string on jockey bookings. BEST Of The Lot is another that could go well on his latest sixth behind Thornaby Green but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Mystical Ayr is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Ignition.
