Verdict

It is hard to go against Flame Creek here and this one can land the hat-trick, Nawamees and Market Watcher look to be the main rivals. The selection has landed his last two races by a combination of no less than 23 lengths. The handicapper must be pulling his hair out over this improving ten-year-old and in this mood he cannot be opposed. Nawamees looks set for some more place following an excellent effort behind Captain General at Lingfield last time out. Market Watcher is also trying to make it three wins on the bounce following two comfortable coursed victories. The slight drop in trip shouldn't be a problem and another big run is expected. However Flame Creek has been a revelation this month and he can make it three wins in 16 days.
