Finesse ended the last campaign with a victory at Wolverhampton and was expected to make a successful reappearance there but missed the break and couldn't quite get there. She should improve for the run but will find it difficult conceding 8lb to IT'S MY TIME. Richard Fahey's filly was having her first start for the yard when an excellent second to Creek Falcon at Doncaster and should progress enough to gain her first success. Scottish Glen only had four runs last year and won three of them. He isn't too badly treated despite those victories and would be a real threat if ready after a break. Peace Seeker has continued to climb the weights without winning over the past year and looks a few pounds high at present.
