Not a bad bumper to conclude matters with although not too many should be in at the business end and we will take Lambrini Leader to make it back-to-back wins from dual scorer Kilcannon Supreme, with Breaking Storm, Ambrosinni and Arctic Rock others on the short list. Lambrini Leader dotted up in a similar contest at Sedgefield in May and has had a nice break since. Fast ground suits and he can defy a penalty to follow up now. Kilcannon Supreme carries a double penalty for victories at both Southwell and then here last time. That latter success was not easy to judge in a torrential thunderstorm and without TV pictures, but the extra weight means we will just oppose. Breaking Storm found a penalty tough to handle here last time but can again finish somewhere near the money, Ambrosinni would probably prefer softer ground and was swamped here last time, while Arctic Rock is the potential improver, having finish behind Breaking Storm here last time, but watch for market clues as far as his chance is concerned from a yard who have winners in this sphere. Having said all of that, Lambrini Leader won readily last time and looks capable of following up.
