Verdict
Red Flyer makes a quick return to the track and can land this selling hurdle from Tiger Talk and Jack Flush. The selection is out to make amends after unshipping his inexperienced rider at the last when set for victory at Newcastle six days ago. He was backed off the boards on that occasion and he looks set to recoup losses today. Tiger Talk didn't do too badly in a better race than this at Musselburgh last time and must go close back in selling company this afternoon. Down at the bottom of the handicap Jack Flush catches the eye having finished a close third in that Newcastle event. However he still had a bit to make up on the selection going to the last. So Pat Haslam is taking no chances with the jockey today he puts up Tony McCoy on Red Flyer who should take the honours
