The Verdict
FormCast selectionFinnians RowConfidence 3/5Didn't win
Form here is moderate across the board, but Finnians Row's recent figures (PP-110) show a horse who has clicked back into form with a recent win, and he carries useful experience at 10 years old with a jockey booking suggesting confidence. Beggars Rock also won last time (63-601) but is stepping up in class carrying more weight at 159lbs off a higher mark, and his form figures before the win were poor (63-6). Rightfolksplease has an improving profile (F0/211) with a recent second and win, and is respected, but his mark has risen and he's now up against similar rivals from a light weight. War Correspondent is topweight and has been solid without winning of late (44U439), and the market may over-bet him purely on class/weight assessment from Hanlon's yard, but the profile suggests he's flattering to deceive - lots of minor placings without breaking through. Finnians Row's recent win, workable weight (153lbs), and the apprentice claim from Niall Moore make him thinking type - his placing suggests he handles this class and has shown he stays and handles this trip. He looks the most solid, straightforward selection given the moderate opposition, without being obviously overbet.
