    Verdict

    A competitive finale can go the way of Vanadium, with Katiypour and Looks Could Kill also sure to go well. The selection won at Wolverhampton last time when he was the subject of a gamble. There is little doubt that he is on a very fair mark at present and he can score again. Katiypour has gone almost two years without winning but he went close at Lingfield last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him get competitive. Looks Could Kill has posted both of his career wins in claimers and the worry is that he will find this too competitive, although he does have the benefit of a good draw. Jools goes well here but will need some luck from stall 1, and we will return to Vanadium who can land the nightcap.
