FLAMING RIB was last behind Perfect Power in the Greenham but didn’t stay the 7f. He was too good for the older Kings Lynn over 5f at Chester next time and then ran El Caballo to a neck in a good trial for this at Haydock when Wings Of War and Go Bears Go were third and fourth respectively. He may have been an unlucky loser that day as he was drawn away from the principals and edged right in the closing stages. The ever-improving El Caballo is in prime position to make use of the stands’ rail today and he is the only horse to have beaten Tiber Flow in five career starts. The latter got the better of Ehraz at Newbury while Twilight Jet looks held by a few of these on the form book but US raider Slipstream could play a part and Sacred Bridge got back to winning ways at Cork last month. Hala Hala Athmani was held in high regard last year and William Buick is an interesting jockey booking on her return to action.
