Verdict

FLANAGANS FIELD bolted up on his return to action at Ffos Las. He comes here in better form than most in this lineup and, despite a 14lb rise in the weights, remains on a competitive handicap mark. He has run well off considerably higher in the past and a follow up is on the cards. Intifadah may be seen to better effect on this ground off a plunging mark and with his stable going well. Bletchley Castle ran well on his reappearance and can be expected to improve for the run. A 5lb rise in the weights leaves him conceding a stone to the selection and that may prove beyond him.
