A very modest finale which will take little winning. Paul Flynn's raider Mikeys Dream must have some sort of chance but Charlie Longsdon can do little wrong at present and his ORBY'S MAN, a winner between the flags last November, showed promise in a couple of bumpers at the start of the year and will be happier faced with some obstacles and a longer trip. Arden Denis, another winning pointer, has shown nothing over timber so far while Crackerjack and Zafaraban are thoroughly exposed.
