FINNEGAN’S GARDEN has a good strike-rate and won in a higher grade under Page Fuller at Lingfield at the start of the month. The handicapper hasn’t over-reacted a quick double may be on the cards and Delface struggles to get his head in front, though his yard’s chasers have a good record on this course. Comber Mill has slipped to a fair mark and Ffos Las winner Robin Des Mana is also respected. Away For Slates and Canny Tom have had a break so are best watched this afternoon.
