Verdict

FINAWN BAWN was doubly entered at Cheltenham this week and comes here for this far more straightforward task. His form stands out against that of his rivals, although Ah Well comes from a good family and will not be long in repaying the kindness shown on his introduction. Kingofthecotswolds has gone well here previously and is likely to improve further now getting more of a trip and he would have to be considered the prime threat.
