Verdict

Those at the top of the handicap look weighted to the hilt, especially in what are likely to be testing conditions, so it may pay to take a chance with FIN AND GAME, who has been unable to translate his promising hurdling form to fences but returns to timber on a fair mark and represents last year's winning stable. French import Dragonhov is hard to assess and is worth noting in the betting, along with the unexposed Speed Company and Mcgowan's Pass.
