Verdict
Still going strong at the age of 16, See Double You found MCGINTY’S DREAM too good at Hexham when last in this country. The latter has a hike in the weights to contend with here but won by nine lengths last time and can go close again. Fergiethelegend travels over from Ireland on the back of a third at Fairyhouse and is another to consider while Airdrigh reverts to chasing after a second over timber here though has yet to win under either code. Finaghy Ayr is not badly treated if back to his best and Prince Dundee has more scope than most.
