      Verdict

      A small field goes to post for the finale and as usual the betting will be the best guide as to what is expected of the newcomers, but the principals look to be Blue Romance, Barabbas and Ruby Too, and we shall side with Blue Romance. The gelding from the Paul Nicholls yard is a well bred son of Bob Back. His stable have a good record in this sphere and he will not have to be anything out of the ordinary to score at this level. Barabbas is a flat bred four-year-old by Royal Academy. He has obviously had his problems but he comes from a shrewd yard and any market confidence should be noted. Ruby Too is bred to be suited by a longer trip, while Native Cunning has shown virtually nothing so far, so we are happy to side with Blue Romance.
