Verdict
Precision Five won by five lengths over track and trip last week but has a 9lb hike in the weights to contend with and may find FLASH CRASH too good. The latter is a winner without a penalty after landing an apprentices race at Yarmouth by four lengths and Anthony Carson's charge can go in again. Dawn Rock won a lowly handicap at Brighton last time and Bold Cross makes more appeal on his second over 1m4f at this track last week.
