Verdict

FINNEGAN’S GARDEN (NAP) has recorded a couple of subsequent wins since landing last year’s renewal of this including at Lingfield earlier this week when racing from out of the handicap. He should prove hard to beat today allowed to compete off a lower mark. Gustav hasn’t raced since winning at Stratford at this time last year and is 6lb higher on his return while Kavanaghs Corner and Lickpenny Larry were placed on their respective latest starts having both slipped down the weights recently.
