Verdict

LIPSINK escapes a penalty for Wednesday's Kempton success and with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb on this occasion, he is worth siding with despite a potentially tricky draw. Spring Bloom is down to a handy mark and well berthed in stall 1 he commands respect on debut for a new yard. Alligator Alley and C&D winner Ancient Times are just a couple of others to consider in the finale.

  1. LIPSINK (IRE)
  2. SPRING BLOOM
  3. ALLIGATOR ALLEY
