Verdict
FINN’S CHARM made a debut full of promise when beaten less than a length in a decent novices race at Yarmouth. He could be up to opening his account in this with normal progress. Little Betty finished third here on her debut. She failed to show any improvement at Thirsk though is still preferred to stablemate Hour By Hour while the newcomer Holloway Boy would not need to be anything special to get involved.
