      Verdict

      Paul Flynn sends Boxer Beat across the Irish Sea and his chance is greatly respected, though his career record of 1-60 is off-putting. Sedgemoor Express has won three of his last four starts over fences and hurdles, including one here in June. But he's gone up another 7lb since scoring at Worcester and FALCARRAGH is just as interesting having only lost out by a short-head in this grade at Newton Abbot last time. The latter has the greater scope and makes more appeal than Wester Ross and Gracchus, who might be in the handicapper's grip now.
