Bellick has a tougher task than when winning at Navan in June while Sir Derrick was well beaten at Thirsk on Monday having won on that track before that. Rickyroadboy has looked high enough in the weight since scoring at Redcar in May and Danehill Desert’s earlier placed efforts came over the minimum trip. Fard seemed to find 7f beyond him last time having placed over today’s trip earlier so a chance is taken on FINAL GO opening his account now handicapping for the first time having made steady progress this year.
