Verdict
On a hat-trick and already a course and distance winner this season, FINNEGAN’S GARDEN will likely be a short price among a field of veterans given he can race off the same mark as when easily landing a conditionals’ race at Plumpton last Sunday. Bredon Hill Lad is hard to catch right nowadays but is a standing dish around here and still capable on his day. Here I Am and Spock are other previous winners here but both look light of former days. Neither No No Cardinal nor Sir Dylan make much appeal on recent efforts.
