Verdict
FLINTARA returned from a short break with a convincing success over a longer trip on soft going here. The drop back down in distance is not a problem and the hat-trick beckons. Just Loose Change won on good ground at Worcester last autumn while San Pedro De Senam would also prefer a faster surface and Mistral Lady is preferred on an earlier second at Lingfield. Star Flyer makes his handicap debut and may get involved.
