Verdict
Flabello has yet to reach a place in six starts when beaten a total of over 340 lengths yet here he is heading the weights. The Pipe magic may still work as he's only five but he's a hard one to go with just on the basis of his form figures. The market may be the best guide to his chances. TEMPLE LORD hasn't won for nearly two years now but the recent experiment to return him to hurdles didn't go too badly when a fair fourth at Southwell. He isn't overly reliable but he'd go very close if repeating that form and receives a tentative vote. Iktiview is a possible if able to put a couple of non-completions to one side with Hand On Bach and Owner Occupier others with a chance at their best.
