Fluffy looks the one to be with in the finale and she is selected over the likes of Paradise Walk and Jiminor Mack. This filly from the Kevin Ryan yard lost no caste in defeat last time when second behind Time Over. She could be well-treated today on her handicap debut and with the ground in her favour she should go close. Bollin Dolly wasn't beaten all that far at Ripon last time and she has only had the two runs so far this season so she could go well at a price. Paradise Walk won well over this course and distance last time but that looked quite a weak race and we have reservations about her ability to follow-up. Jiminor Mack has yet to win a race but she went close last time. However, she is probably at her best with cut in the ground and is opposed accordingly. But Fluffy sets the standard today and gets the vote.
