It was soft going when Our Folly won at Chepstow in June beating today's rival Sunny Future. The latter finally returned to winning ways at Bath on his latest start and should make another bold bid here. He had Whenever a couple of lengths behind at Bath and the latter re-opposes on better terms today, but DR FINLEY is just preferred on the likely fast ground. He scored at Thirsk last time and looks capable of going in again off only a 3lb higher mark. The remainder arrive badly out of sorts and are hard to fancy.
