Verdict
FLY CAMP is impossible to oppose in a weak finale as he only found one too good on his debut under Rules at Worcester having beaten a subsequent bumper and hurdles winner between the flags at Kilworth last year. Modulus has also won a point-to-point but is more of a chasing type. Dance In The Dust is still a work in progress while That's Gonna Sting, third here in a bumper last July, has yet to show anything over timber.
