Verdict
FINESPUN will likely be a short-priced favourite in this finale. The Godolphin filly placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle at the end of last year and makes her handicap debut at a modest level. Cuillin did win at Wolverhampton in November but is 0-7 on Polytrack and has to give the selection 5lb. Dangerous Ends is fully exposed but preferred to Jamaican Jill and the others.
