    Verdict

    FINNEGAN’S GARDEN won from out of the handicap over course and distance last time and can go in again. He’s preferred to the other recent winner, Spock, who was also winning from out of the weights when successful at Hereford. Bramble Brook wasn’t helped by a loose horse when a losing favourite at Ffos Lass in October while Sir Hubert shaped well enough when third at Lingfield on his chasing bow. Ramore Will won on fast going here in September and makes more appeal than the struggling Whispering Harry.
