FLAWLESSLY, who was having only her third all-weather start when runner-up to Aggression last month, has been left on the same mark and can go one better. She holds fourth-placed Jenniechild, who looked to have had every chance, and though earlier behind My Good Brother appears to be improving and can turn the tables. The latter is 8-29 on the all-weather and is on a lower mark than when successful here in September from Mo Henry, who is worse off at the weights, so looks a threat, but Chicago School's one victory was over an extra furlong. Kevin Ryan sends Fast Act from Yorkshire and he's very well handicapped on his latest victory though that was over a year ago. Brave Display appeared to need every yard of the 6f when he scored here last week so could be tapped for speed.
