Verdict

Flemensbay makes her chasing debut but trip and going will suit and she could figure if her jumping holds up. Surging Seas has yet to win a race but may do better now going over fences. Free Of Charge has won here over hurdles but has yet to shine over the larger obstacles and Railway Storm isn't getting any younger. Somerset Lias has shown some promise but took a backwards step last time at Towcester. MOR BROOK's jumping has gone to pieces since he won at Bangor last May and he is now in the last-chance saloon. But he does have ability and could be well treated in this company if a short break has restored some confidence.
