Verdict

Berry Baby can take the finale with Lilac Moon and Mac Don regarded as her biggest dangers. Gerard Butler's filly has promised more than she has delivered so far this season which included a very disappointing performance on her latest start at Kempton. Hopefully, that will be factored into the price and make her an enticing proposition to open her account. Krugerrand won with a well timed run last time but will do well to follow up unlike Lilac Moon who is progressing well and may not be done with yet. She has to prove herself on this ground but there's no reason to believe that she won't act on it. Silent Applause, Night Orbit and Just Intersky should feature as may Irish raider Mac Don for whom the booking of Neil Callan is a positive but they have had more than their share of chances and we prefer the claims of Berry Baby.
