Verdict
Flanagans Field returned ti winning ways at Chepstow when beating Top Of The Rocks but there shouldn’t be much between the pair today on revised terms. MALANGEN had proved disappointing prior to winning a poor seller at Exeter. But that victory obviously gave him confidence as he followed up at Bangor with few problems so a hat-trick beckons. Hot Smoked was only beaten a nose at Exeter last month but that was on soft going and he’s 4lb higher now. Grande Waltz still has plenty to prove but Can You Believe It could be interesting in first-time headgear.
