The top two qualifiers in this final, Chasing Yesterday and Powerful attraction are both trained by AMERICAN PHARAOH STABLE as is Jezebels Kitten further down the board. All three are out of the stables top sire Guest Of The Year. Powerfulattraction beat Chasing Yesterday 2L in a qualifier over 6F soft but Chasing Yesterday looks to have improved since judged on her next two runs and its hard to choose between them. Jezebels Kitten has been well beaten over this trip and looks better over further.
Headgear (ANFIELD ROAD) set a new 3yo record when winning its maiden early this season and has proved a bargain buy taking a qualifier over 7F firm. He does carry a penalty here however and looks unlikely to overcome that. Stablemate Tank has struggled in claimers before his qualifier second to Headgear and does not look a likely candidate. Nor does World Of Warcraft on all known form.
Tigers Diamond (KDS) was an excellent second in last season final but has not shown enough to be put forward this term.
Golden Coupe (BLACK CAT RACING) has placed in three qualifiers but the fact that he was only fourth in an added progress race under finals conditions tempers confidence.
Crowning Glory (NEMESIS STUD) won a 5F qualifier on firm last time out and should be at home in this final though overall form not strongly compelling. Invasion Of Quizmo has good recent form but mostly over further.
Last seasons champion Bolder Still (LANES END FARM) was an impressive winner first time out beating many of todays rivals over 6F soft and, despite a defeat when carrying a penalty over the minimum on her only subsequent start, she remains unexposed and is the one to beat.
Sirius (ILLITERATE BUNCH) has struggled so far this season and needs to find significant improvement to figure.
Start The Migraine (RAYLEIGH DOWNS STABLE) has run respectably without looking a likely winner so improvement needed.
ANALYSIS: Several with chances in an open looking final but BOLDER STILL expected to remain champion.
ODDS: BOLDER STILL 4/1 fav, Chasing Yesterday 5/1, Golden Coupe 11/2, Powerfulattraction 6/1, Crowning Glory 13/2, Tigers Diamond 8/1, Start The Migarine 10/1, Headgear 12/1, World Of Warcraft 14/1, Jezebels Kitten 15/1, Invasion Of Quizmo 16/1, Sirius 18/1, Tank 20/1,
