      Verdict

      FLAMINGER will likely start at prohibitive odds in this. He finished a distance clear of the rest of the field when runner-up to Christopher Wood over course and distance last month and the latter has subsequently won again. Gary Moore’s charge should have little to fear from today’s opposition and is impossible to oppose with a clear round. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder given their woeful form to date though Cilaos Glace may do better back over this shorter trip.
