An open finale in which plenty can be considered, namely the likes of Paint The Dream, Putting Green and the Carlisle winner Amberose who would be suited by any overnight/mid-afternoon rain (forecast is mixed). The lightly-raced Rizzardo will also be popular amongst punters after an eye-catching run at Market Rasen (2m7f), and with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over in the saddle. Therefore, in pursuit of some value a realistic alternative is the Richard Hobson-trained DEFI SACRE who shaped better than the bare finishing positions over this trip at Uttoxeter 26-days ago.
