FormscanBy Michael Graham - The 93-rated FINANS BAY ought to take plenty of beating. He has improved on each of his three racecourse appearances culminating in a runner-up berth at the Curragh when beaten half a length. He travelled notably well on that slow ground. The form of his penultimate race, when fourth to Delphi, looks excellent now as a glut of winners have come out of it. American Pharoah newcomer Party Season has to be given plenty of respect, particularly if strong in the market. Astadash went into plenty of notebooks when storming home for third over a mile and a quarter at this track on debut. She hasn’t quite built upon that, but the ability is in her locker. Cut in the ground is an unknown to her, though. Pin Your Hopes and Ivan The Great are others who can get involved.
