Verdict
Plenty with claims in a tricky finale with several probably capable of improving on what they’ve shown so far. SOLAR SOVEREIGN is the senior runner but has only had three runs under Rules so far. Toby Bulgin’s charge found plenty for pressure when successful at Wetherby and holds Regarde on earlier form at that track. The Plimsoll Line has had a break but Howlingmadmurdock is progressing nicely and Get Up Mush had Snowy Evening behind when scoring at Wetherby. Maillot Blanc is looking a bit exposed but Hands Off had every chance when running out at Doncaster latest, though looks held by easy Plumpton winner Hermino AA on earlier form on Town Moor.
