DR FINLEY won this a year ago and is just 2lb higher. He'd been finding it tough before running one of the best races of his career at Newcastle on Saturday and would have no problems completing the double in that king of form. Mollyow is still a maiden after 15 starts on the Flat and over hurdles though she's gone close on several occasions and won't get many better opportunities. Cloudy Start has been confined to racing on the all-weather recently but appears to be suited by any surface and his big weight is reduced by Leonna Mayor's claim. Tae Kwon Do has won over hurdles and fences but never on the Flat and though he hasn't been running badly he probably won't represent good value. Ishismart has a similar profile in that she's won once from 18 starts over timber but is still a maiden on the level after a dozen starts.
