Not much to enthuse about in this finale but Hermosa Vaquera has won at the track and is fit from the Flat. Moreece has been lightly campaigned lately but has started favourite in two of his last three runs. Generous Jack was third over course and distance two weeks ago and races off the same mark but he's giving 23lb to Bangor third SHOUTING HILL. A drop in distance for the latter may not be ideal but Kieron Edgar is one of the most experienced jockeys with a mount in this so he gets the nod.
