In depth
Verdict
Fleurman was a decent stayer on the Flat and is a very interesting recruit to hurdling having joined Olly Murphy. He is receiving 7lb from the three previous winners but GRAYSTONE was in front and travelling best when falling at the last at Taunton four weeks ago having made all at Warwick earlier and Lucy Wadham’s charge can gain compensation here if confidence hasn’t been affected. Message Personnel was thrown in at the deep end on his UK debut and wasn’t disgraced so should find this easier.
