Verdict

Dr Finley won this off a higher mark in 2011 and is not easily dismissed. Ninfea ended a long losing run with victory in a seller over 1m4f last month while Lucky Diva scored over today's trip at Ffos Las but is 7lb higher today. The betting suggested LA BACOUETTEUSE was expected to return to form at Musselburgh a week ago and he duly did so when spread-eagling the field to win by nearly three lengths. He can go in again despite a penalty.
