held up in 3rd, mistake 10th, chased winner after 4 out, no impression from 3 out
tracked winner until 4 out, weakened 3 out, 3rd and no chance when blundered last
jumped left, made all, clear from 3 out, easily
Just three runners for this handicap chase and a chance is taken with Flinders, but Correct And Right and She's Our Native will be no pushovers and will make him fight all the way. Richard Rowe's nine-year-old hasn't been out since May, when not too far behind Sylphide over an inadequate trip. Her previous defeat of Kroisis over three miles two furlongs reads very well and he looks set to regain the winning thread. Bumper winner She's Our Native was a casualty on her chase debut at Ludlow, but she has always looked like a fencer and could go close with a clear round. Correct And Right was well beaten in a handicap hurdle last time, but had shown plenty of promise over the larger obstacles previously when only seven lengths behind James Victor. So a trappy little event where tactics will play a major role, but Flinders appears to have the best form on show and gets the vote.
