Verdict
The Ian McInnes-trained Molotov has been in good lately and can take the finale; possibly at the main expense of Xanadu and Royal Windmill, who are hard to split judged on their recent encounter at Redcar. Robwillcall and Flying Tackle are others that are bubbling under on the shortlist, while any support for Loughlorien may not be too far off the mark if an each way price is available. However, the recent efforts of Molotov have been pleasing enough to grant him another throw of the dice and the four-year-old - a winner at Brighton on his penultimate start - is expected to relish the challenge presented by the course when they come up the hill towards the line.
