FINGAL'S CAVE has been running well of late and with a solid chance he will take to this surface, he could be hard to beat from this sort of handicap mark. Mametz Wood is worthy of plenty of respect in first-time headgear while six-time course and distance winner Shearian shouldn't be far away, despite probably being a little too high in the handicap to be considered for win purposes.
