Verdict
FINNEGAN’S GARDEN is a proven mudlark and won over 2m around here last season. This longer trip holds no fears for Zoe Davison’s charge and the booking of Noel Fehily is a positive. Goring One also goes well in holding ground and is a course and distance winner, though not getting any younger. Remember Forever was only fifth in this last year while conditions may be too testing for Chatelier. The others have a bit to prove at present.
