Verdict

The finale can go the way of ARTISAN DANCER, who did well to overcome his position in a moderately-run race when scoring at Ripon last time. He is taken to confirm the placings with Surrey Belle from when the pair met 13 days ago, while Tailorman could also be in the mix following his encouraging reappearance effort.
