EXPLOSIVE FINNISH made a very promising return when third at Southwell last month and he can build on that effort as he makes only his second handicap start. He is taken to get the better of Believeinmenow, who has shown improved form in his 2 outings this season, with Alfa Duplicate and Showtown completing the shortlist.
