      Verdict

      I'dliketheoption finished tailed off when Carolines Charm won at Plumpton and might struggle to turn the tables. Tikkinthebox has already won twice this term but Atlantic Storm was disappointing at Warwick last time having run up a sequence of placed efforts earlier. FALCON SUN ran well for a long way on his fencing bow and there should be plenty more to come from Dan Skelton’s six-year-old. Flying Tiger was a useful hurdler but it’s a long time since he got his head in front, though has slipped to a very lenient mark.
