Wait For The Will looks the one to be with in the finale, with the list of dangers headed by Resplendent Ace and Turner's Touch. The selection hinted that his turn would not be far away when chasing home War Of The Roses at Lingfield last time. He was returning from a short break that day and he looks primed for a big run this afternoon. Resplendent Ace won last time but he was all-out to beat Smokey The Bear and he looks to have more on his plate today. Turner's Touch does have plenty of ability and he showed some of his old sparkle last time when chasing home Birkside. However, he is a bit of a character and it is far from certain that he will reproduce the form today. Rollin 'n Tumblin won well last time and he is another to factor in, but this looks a good opportunity for Wait For The Will who gets the vote.
