In depth
Verdict
Finmar has been in good form of late goes on any ground and he looks set to break his duck in this desperate affair. Hawkley has lots of ability and if he puts his best foot forward he will be hard to beat, he was a fair third behind Dryden House at Pontefract last time out and if he reproduces that he will be a major player. Quinta Special ran well in a claimer last time only beaten a length and he to could play a part in the finish. Neven is the least exposed in the field and he would not have to improve much to score. Never Forget Bowie could also run well at a big price.
