TECH ZINNE is the marginal selection in this finale. George Baker's filly has the experience of two runs and she looks the sort of horse to improve now faced with a test of stamina. David Bass looks a good jockey booking and a bold bid is expected. Secret Past needs a market check on debut, but the more interesting newcomers might be the winning point-to-pointer Flying Award or Generals Love. He represents a more likely stable in this realm than Fresher Fishing, who is not ruled out nonetheless. Don't Hang About shaped with promise in a bog at Chepstow in March, whilst improvement is anticipated Bardolf.
