Verdict
Several won on the Turf last time including TARBAAN. The latter returned a convincing winner at Yarmouth and an apprentice’s allowance reduces a rise in the weights. Final Check has been winning in Ireland but was partnered by a 7lb claimer at Punchestown and has also been raised 8lb. Bashful won at Ayr with Ayr Poet less than a length behind while Real Terms scored over a longer trip at Haydock in September.
