Verdict

Flint River is on a longish losing sequence but has dropped down to a most attractive mark and must be respected with his stable in excellent heart at present. Hout Bay showed he was about to strike winning form over course and distance last time and is one for the shortlist along with the consistent pair of Beyond The Clouds and Bodfari Komaite along while recent Folkestone maiden winner Zarzu is open to plenty of improvement.
