Verdict

This looks tailormade for FINNEGAN'S GARDEN to follow up last year's success in this. He won a more competitive event at Lingfield on Monday from out of the weights. He escapes a penalty and is effectively 5lb lower in the handicap this time. Lickpenny Larry and Kavanagh's Corner are prominent racers who are proven in the conditions, so they are the pair most likely to test the probable favourite.
  1. Finnegan's Garden
  2. Kavanaghs Corner
