Verdict
None of these can be ruled out but CURLEY FINGER hinted at a revival after a break when fourth at Wetherby and can capitalise on a reduced mark here. Hat-trick seeking Burrows Hall rates the obvious threat, although handicap debutant Bold Recruit can't be discounted along with the enigmatic Shared.
