FormscanBy Michael Graham - FINNIANS ROW attracted support in first-time cheekpieces in a better class of race over CD last month and posted a more than fair third place. He was well clear of the remainder and appeals in this basement grade with the cheekpieces retained. Kings Halo was beaten into second over an extended 2m6f in Tramore at the start of the month and you can see the reasoning behind the drop back in trip as he was caught before the final fence. He's not on a bad mark at all. Bidentime showed much more when fourth over 2m in Naas. He has still to prove his fondness for this trip, but could go better over it now. Spancil Hill raced prominently over 3m at Navan on Saturday before dropping to fourth. That was a decent effort, however, he had a tough race. 14-year-old Garrai Phaidin is far from out of contention.
