Blue Fin came up against a decent novice here six weeks ago and is preferred to returning stablemate Malpas with Brian Hughes doing the steering but FIVE DOLLAR FINE is gradually getting the hang of jumping fences and is receiving lumps of weight. Fia Fuinidh can improve on a fourth at Hexham while Attention All has point-to-point experience. Our Follet is the least exposed and is also worth a second look.
