Verdict

The unbeaten FINIAN'S OSCAR can register a third success at this level by taking this 2m4f contest for a yard that have saddled two wins already at this meeting. The selection was a winner in Grade 1 company at Aintree last time out and can get the better of Let's Dance who finished runner-up at Fairyhouse earlier this month while Cheltenham disappointments Death Duty and Bacardys are others to take note of in this contest.
  1. Finian's Oscar
