        Verdict

        Finnegan's Garden has won a further twice since landing last year's renewal. He struggled in a higher grade chase last time but is not out of this and preferred to stablemate Brother Bennett while Champion Chase was still in contention when falling at Lingfield having placed over these fences on a couple of occasions beforehand. Show's Over failed to cope with a 9lb rise on his latest start having won at Sedgefield earlier but MUILEAN NA MADOG went close to making a winning start over fences when runner-up at Ludlow recently. He can go one better in this and gets the vote.
