Verdict

Some Finish has a good record here and has little more to do than when scoring last time. However, NORMANDY KING has shown enough on his last two starts over fences to suggest he can win something like this and is taken to prove so. Ballyegan took this two years ago and a spring point-to-point victory indicated he retains his enthusiasm. He went well for a long way at Taunton after a layoff and he could fill one of the places at least.
