Verdict
FINAL VOYAGE proved at least as good as ever when runner-up at this C&D on his latest outing, only narrowly denied by a 3-y-o improver, and he can build on that effort with cheekpieces back on. He is taken to see off the challenge of Instant Appeal, who is respected having made his second start for Stephen Thorne a winning one, with Daler also considered.
