Leamington Lad can land the finale at the expense of Storm Prospect and Spa Wells. The selection landed himself in the winners enclosure at Worcester last time out for which he has been penalised ten pounds. That said this like one of his easiest tasks for some time and with the stable in such good form he ought to take some beating. Storm Prospect is another to note having won well at Hexham last time out. That was his second win of the season and he still looks on the up grade. Spa Wells has been running with credit all summer without getting his head in front. He ran well to finish second at Ballinrobe last time out and any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Leamington Lad.
