Fingal's Hill (G)

C&D scorer who was in cracking form when winning 3 times between March and June last year. Has a career-high mark to contend back from 7 months off so the percentage call might be to look elsewhere.

Winner of this race 2 years ago. Lightly raced since but showed he retains plenty of ability back from a long absence when fourth of 8 at Haydock just after Christmas. Well treated if he can build on…

Fortunate winner (3 lengths down when left in lead last) at Ayr (20.5f, soft) last January. Below par in his 4 outings since but has been cut some slack by the handicapper as a result.

Disappointing back from 6 months off at Wetherby in November but put that quickly behind him when second of 9 over 2½m at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. Respected off an unchanged mark.
