In the finale, the vote goes to Bienheureux, with Mustang Ali, Bravely Does It, Silver Prophet and Free Style others that could also go well. Bienheureux comes here in good heart, having won his last two races and runs under a winner's penalty. Being lightly raced, he should have further improvement in him and, with his stable among the winners lately, he can go well again. Turning to the others and multiple scorer Kingsdon's wins have come at shorter trips. Turn Of Phrase might run better today after having had a sighter on this surface last time. Mustang Ali seems to enjoy this surface and is just two pounds above the mark from which he recently scored. Bravely Does It, Silver Prophet and Once are all closely weighted on recent course and distance runs, and Free Style romped to victory at Lingfield last time, a surface she seems to enjoy but now has a seven-pound penalty to carry. Finally, Delightfully improved in first-time blinkers last time, but that win came in a Lingfield seller and she also lacks a recent run. This spins us back to the selection, which is Bienheureux
