Verdict
KILFINICHEN BAY beat the in-form Cash For Steel five lengths at Uttoxeter to land a hat-trick. Charlie Longsdon's charge can shrug off a penalty on that evidence and is preferred to Right To Rule. The latter failed to cope with a 2lb rise last time having won at Sedgefield earlier and this may well turn into a match if the recalcitrant Bold Tara refuses to race once again.
