Finnegan McCool had much more of a chance on paper but did himself no favours when getting revved up in the preliminaries and actually crashed through a rail and came down soon after leaving the paddock. Obviously he was none the worse for the tumble, but it could not have done him any good mentally so this has to go down as a fair effort. As long as his temperament does not not get the better of him again he could well be up to winning in this company.
Redhead was stepping back a furlong in trip but looked one-paced and a step back up might suit better.
