FINDLAY'S FIND has won 10 of 18 starts between the flags and only once finished out of the money. He was beaten by My Flora at Chaddesley Corbett nine days ago but that was no disgrace and the six-year-old should open his account under Rules here with a clear round. The danger looks to be Trifoilet, who won easily at Dunthrop last month, as the mare Twigga Woods looks very one paced.
