King Fingal has passed up many similar opportunities since winning a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh two years and is worth opposing again though the quicker ground will aid his cause while Tayarat is better receiving weight from superior rivals. RANO PANO's latest third at Sedgefield wasn't a bad effort and she won on the Polytrack in January. Garry Lavery takes off 10lb and Brian Ellison's filly may well be good enough to get back to winning ways with few of the others boasting any worthwhile form.
