Verdict

Fleminport made it third-time lucky over hurdles in a Hereford maiden but could struggle to concede 6lb here to CLASH OF D TITANS. He was making his debut over hurdles when third at Leicester behind a couple of more battle-hardened rivals and is sure to appreciate this step up in distance. It’s almost four years since Fare Thee Well saw action in a maiden point-to-point but Belle Empress should strip fitter for a run at Doncaster, her first since 2015.
