TAN RAPIDO arrives in good heart and didn't get the smoothest of passages when runner-up at Yarmouth last month. He gets the nod. Northern Spirit and Against The Wind also appeal in an open-looking finale.

Course winner who bounced back to form when taking 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 7 days ago. 5 lb penalty to carry now but holds solid claims nonetheless.
