Song For Someone gave Praeceps 6lb and beat him nine lengths at Newbury. Praeceps went on to beat Honorable by two lengths at Market Rasen so Gary Moore’s charge looks held. FLEGMATIK was returning from a break and having a first run for the Skeltons when easily landing the odds at Wetherby. That wasn’t much of a race but the French import has plenty of scope and should be too good for Nebuchadnezzar, who has been a beaten favourite twice over hurdles so has something to prove now. Idilico has already had limitations exposed.
