Verdict

Should top-weight Flashjack translate his hurdling ability to fences following his break, he would have a major chance off his current handicap mark, but he comes with risks and the percentage call is FLY HOME HARRY, who has a fair strike rate over fences and ran well on his first start for his new stable. Barlow is of interest on his debut for his trainer, while cases can also be made for How About It, Seven Kingdoms and Running Wolf.
  1. Fly Home Harry
  2. Flashjack
  3. Seven Kingdoms
