Verdict

Flash Crash and Noel Fehily rate a tempting combination and the Best inmate must surely land the spoils sooner or later. But there is a real concern about the ground as he's never even run on anything worse than good to soft in 26 starts under Rules so OBISTAR is preferred. The Pipe charge showed definite ability for the first time over timber when second in the soft at Carlisle and is taken to go one better now he finally seems to have got the idea of what's required. Tara Tavey has a form chance too but is another unproven under testing conditions.
