Dr Finley was sent off favourite at Kempton four weeks ago but folded tamely once headed. He's still chasing a first victory on the all-weather but GRAYLYN RUBY won over 1m4f at Kempton in February and was fourth in a better race at that track last time over this trip. He did win here back in 2008 and looks the obvious one today. Bert The Alert only won a seller here in February and Annaluna has been struggling this year. Veteran Brabazon is a past course and distance winner but was tailed off at Wolverhampton last week.
