Verdict
Fine Casting landed a Ffos Las maiden before a comfortable victory in a Class 4 Newbury handicap for which he's been raised 6lb. DIBBLE DECKER, a winner between the flags, made all for an impressive victory over this trip at Huntingdon and normal progress will see him difficult to beat off this mark. Horizon D'Ainay was beaten at odds-on when sent to Southwell and the form hasn't worked out while Genuflex has had wind surgery since a very good run in a Class 2 event at Huntingdon. Elham Valley, a close third in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last March, has been racing in better company and has dropped to a very fair mark.
