Verdict

A competitive finale. OAKLEY'S WAY impressed with the way he went about things at Taunton and may be able to cope with a 6 lb rise but there are lots of possible dangers, headed by the hat-trick seeking Birthday Angel, Joe Tizzard handicap newcomer Sea Warrior and the returning Railway Bell.
