A real watch the market affair in which FLINSKI is selected in the absence of it with Brook Castle and Karley on the shortlist. Although 15-years-young; he makes plenty of appeal on the likely fast ground and from unfashionable connections, he is likely to be a decent price. Brook Castle ran respectably enough on his last visit here and should be capable of running another decent race again. Karley is owned and trained by Polly Gundry and should not be underestimated. Deloughtane won very easily on his latest start between the flags and is likely to be popular as a consequence. Glacial Call was beaten at long odds-on in her latest outing and blinkers are put on in an effort to get her concentrating on the job in hand. Flinski is the best option in a race where market sentiment will prove crucial.
