A competitive finale in which we will side with READY TO CROWN; both Rockjumper and Lady Petrus are considered as an alternative. The selection is relatively lightly raced and she was good enough to break her maiden tag on her debut in a bumper at Huntington. Since then connections have concentrated on the flat and although winless since her debut, she has run some fine races in defeat and she is sure to go close. Rockjumper caught the eye when second of eleven at Brighton last time out. That was a personal best effort and if able to run up to that form once again he can be in the shake-up. Lady Petrus looks to be improving with experience. She was not beaten far when finishing fourth of twelve at Folkestone last time out. She has been contesting in better than this in the past so is worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Ready To Crown.
