Top-weight FINAL NIGHT won 3 times here towards the end of 2025 and returned from a short break in top form when third at Newcastle last month. He makes most appeal, with recent Lingfield scorer Sea Founder perhaps the biggest threat dropping back down in trip. Atmosphere is also considered despite a disadvantageous draw.
