Verdict
The novice FLAMINGER came home in splendid isolation at Plumpton 10 days ago and is already a better chaser than hurdler. He has a penalty to carry here but is up against largely exposed types including the last two winners of this, Bredon Hill Lad and Chivers. Templier took advantage of a drop in grade at Hereford but is 7lb higher now while Brother Bennett is hard to win with. Tanrudy turned in a shocker last time at Market Rasen but would have a chance on earlier form with Spiritofchartwell also worth considering given he likes it here.
