Forecasts

Finisk River (2/5), Diodorus (11/4), Ecossais (17/2), Reign Back Dancer (150/1), Connerys Hill (250/1)

Verdict

FINISK RIVER looked a cut above the normal summer novice when scoring in good style here 16 days ago, and with this longer trip likely to unlock further improvement, he looks capabe of winning again. Diodorus ran well under a penalty at Uttoxeter last month and is the obvious threat ahead of Ecossais.
