Racing Posts analysts reveal who most caught their eye on All-Weather Finals Day
I was really taken by the effort of Spark Plug in the Marathon. He was beaten only four lengths despite a difficult passage, eventually running on well in the closing stages to finish third. He is rated higher on turf, and despite being an eight-year-old, the 2016 Cambridgeshire winner has now proved he stays two miles, which opens a lot of doors. A two-time Listed winner, race fitness could see him snare another decent prize before long.

Kachy was electric as ever in the Sprint, and although he's clearly better on a tight-turning all-weather track like Lingfield, it would take a brave soul to presume he can't translate that form to turf. Chester will be his track of choice and I expect him to continue his blistering run as we move through the season. Looking at the beaten horses, Deputise's second-placed effort proved he has progressed over the winter. He can exploit his mid-90s mark, while Clon Coulis would have hated the track and shouldn't be overlooked back on turf.
