    Verdict

    Flashing Glance was still just about in front when unseating his rider on his chasing bow at Hereford but he was rated a few pounds lower over hurdles than MONSIEUR LECOQ, who never really looked like catching One For Rosie here last month but should have benefited from the experience. The Mulcair has yet to really impress over the larger obstacles but looks the pick of the remainder with Needhams Gap returning from a lengthy absence and having a first run over fences.
