Verdict
A tricky finale but top weight Mo Henry is interesting and he's coming down the weights and eased in grade for this. Newholm has been knocking on the door but is likely to find at least one too good again on these terms, though did finish ahead of Darrell Rivers and Wiggle when only beaten a head at Thirsk last time. The returning Bonfire Heart has his first run on Turf but a market move for the lightly-raced Whistler Mountain would be significant and Firgrove Bridge has been running better than his form figures would suggest. SECOND CUT can reverse last month's Thirsk running with Hugie Boy on 5lb better terms and get off the mark at the sixth attempt but Josh Doyle's claim a plus.
