An ordinary finale in which few catch the eye. Easy Stratford winner Mr Mafia will probably start favourite but it did take him 14 attempts to get off the mark. Eddy won twice at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but Olly Murphy’s new charge Tunnel Creek failed to make the frame in nine runs in Ireland, though has won on the Flat. Come On Louis showed a bit more at Bangor but the longer trip should suit FAIR FRANK, whose dam was a stayer. He makes his handicap debut in modest company.
