Forecasts

Finlaggan (11/8), Bearwith (4/1), Spirit Catcher (9/2), The Cookstown Cafu (5/1), Poet's Dawn (15/2), Everyoneknowsadave (10/1), Bay Dream Believer (14/1), Distinction (14/1), Off Spin (20/1), Tiberio Force (22/1), Speechman (25/1), Skinny Malinka (25/1), Popeye Doyle (40/1), Twilight Safari (66/1)

Verdict

FINLAGGAN could just be a cut above this 0-70 grade and is taken to build on his promising handicap debut second at Pontefract. Last-time-out winners The Cookstown Cafu and Spirit Catcher retain plenty of handicapping scope on peak form and might be the pair to give David O'Meara's charge most to do.
