In depth
Verdict
Peaks Of Fire had to be dropped into a seller at Uttoxeter to get off the mark over hurdles and was no match for Tyrana off this mark at Stratford 11 days ago, though still finished well ahead of Generous Kenny. Conceding 12lb, we are taking him on here with FINCH FLYER who wasn't beaten far when fourth in a novice contest at Stratford last month and has gone close twice on the Flat since. Sharp And Chic has been off the track for more than a year and, like Lulu's Gift, races from out of the handicap in this.
