In depth
Verdict
Flash Cummins gets the confident vote here with Three Mirrors and Manoubi rating the main dangers. The selection was the best of these over hurdles is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and with his yard in form and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Three Mirrors rates the main danger on his latest second behind General Alarm, thst form has since been franked and he will not be far away, Manoubi is another that could go well as he won a handicap when beating Copplestone last time out, however this looks tougher and as his best form is with more cut in the ground he is taken on. Izzykeen was a fair third last time out but he is hard to win with and as he will be taken on for the lead he is opposed. Of the remainder Ad Murum is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Flash Cummins.
