    Verdict

    Idilico has won over hurdles and on the Flat but has yet to place over fences. My Rockstar ended last season in good form, however, and still has a bit of scope while Famoso won at Stratford in August and again at Ludlow three weeks ago. FLASH GORCOMBE followed up a win here in March with another at Wincanton. He will have needed his reappearance at the latter track and can get his head back in front here. Abingworth jumped left handed when second to an easy winner at Huntingdon and this is another right-handed track.
