Verdict
HIS FINEST HOUR is holding his form well and, having found only a potentially thrown-in one too good at Haydock, he shades the vote. Connections seem to be finding the key to lightly-raced 4-y-o Forest Caper, so he merits respect, along with Solar Bentley, a consistent sort who had excuses for a rare below-par effort at Newcastle last time.
