Verdict
Luca Cumani does well here but Isobar's recent efforts don't inspire confidence. Gems is likely to blaze a trail but looks to be in the handicapper's grip now and has a lot to find with Wily Fox on latest Folkestone running. Ugalla is one-paced and Hawridge King looks to be on the downgrade though did win over C&D last year. MISS TOPSY TURVY can be a bit of a madam and has her stamina to prove over this trip but she certainly wasn't stopping over 1m4f at Thirsk in July and a short break may have improved her attitude. John Dunlop's filly can land this finale getting weight from rivals who have also have question marks hanging over them at present.
