Formscan - Finn Ironside made all to score in comfortable fashion over C&D latest and is likely to go close off 3lb higher, but this can go to older legs in the shape of SPARTAN FIGHTER. The veteran has claimed 12 of his 16 career successes at this venue, including when a shock 80-1 winner last month, and he remains competitively treated off just 2lb more in the ratings. Others to note include Cable Beach, Luminous Warrior and Palmarian.
