A competitive finale and from a shortlist of VEILED, Jadalee and Rose Row we will side with Veiled. Sir Mark Prescott is a master at improving horses when they are upped in trip and our selection here is a case in point. He has won three of his five starts since being stepped up in distance and although he has a 12lbs penalty for his most recent success, he scored very comfortably that day and the manner of the win suggested that there should be more to come. Jadalee is another who won last time out to record his first success on the polytrack. He is in good heart at present and if this frontrunner is allowed an easy lead then he could be hard to catch. Rose Row is chasing the hat-trick today and if all is well then she could be of interest, although she had blood coming from her nostrils when she arrived back in the winner's enclosure last time out which is a slight cause for concern. Remember Ramon was held when he got hampered at Ascot last time, but he has got course and distance form and he can't be ruled out confidently. This looks a good opportunity for the progressive Veiled to get his head in front again.
