Verdict
This won’t take much winning but Frank The Slink didn’t beat much at Hexham three weeks ago and is 6lb higher. Smiling Jessica unseated her rider on her chasing bow in a race that was subsequently voided. She was then pulled up over hurdles but chased home Powerful Symbol at Southwell last month and the winner went in again here yesterday. Lakefield Rebel has yet to win under Rules but went closet at Hexham in May, though hasn’t been seen since. This is probably a more suitable test for FINAL FLING and the winning hurdler can give his yard back-to-back victories in this.
