    Verdict

    Fingertips made his UK debut in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham but was soon left behind once the pace quickened. He's currently being hampered by his penalty and has to give 10lb here to POLARISATION. John Ferguson has inherited the Echo Of Light gelding from Mark Johnston and he looks capable of winning on his hurdles bow having scored four times up to 1m6f on the Flat this year, though he will be having his 15th start in 2015. Jinsha Lake won over a mile in Ireland in May for Aidan O'Brien so can't be ignored but June's Uttoxeter second Directional will need much more.
