Verdict
A tricky finale and Until When is purely a speculative selection to land it for the Bryan Smart yard. With just two outings this season, Until When can be expected to step up on his much improved effort last time when the first time visor could well have been the answer. He didn't get away the quickest in that so all things considered it was a reasonable performance and a fast pace will play into his hands. Plenty of dangers exist, amongst them Miss Daawe who can be expected to trail blaze while Colorus is another in fine form and has a very capable apprentice on board. If By The Edge can transfer his all-weather form to the turf he would come into the reckoning while Feelin Foxy has the upper hand on Miss Daawe if their clash at Redcar in March is anything to go by. Until When is a speculative selection to land the finale.
