Verdict
This has an open look about it but Fontwell third Vicenzo Mio is 5lb wrong in the weights. Away For Slates is well treated on past form and has placed over shorter trips in his last three runs, including one here. Aintree My Dream is only 1-16 over fences but will handle conditions and is preferred to Aubusson, who is less certain to appreciate the going, and the frustrating Raven's Tower. FINNEGAN’S GARDEN went well for a long way on his reappearance at Fontwell. He seeks a fourth course victory and has his ground so should take all the beating.
