In depth

Verdict

Fingerontheswitch is still capable on his day but has a lot to find with AS YOU LIKE on Market Rasen running being only 2lb better off. Jonjo O’Neill’s 10-year-old seems to thrive at this time of year and can go one better. Red Giant is struggling for form but Amalfi Doug was just denied a sixth course victory here last month, when Cuneo was well beaten, and should be prominent again. Elmono will be all the better for a reappearance at Kelso in May but Looksnowtlikebrian hasn’t run over fences since November. Ocean Cove can be hard work but is back on a winning mark so can’t be ignored.
