FLECKERL was comfortably clear of the rest when going down to Ogbourne Downs at Bath last weekend and should make a good fist of things here despite topweight with trip and ground sure to suit. Jaladee remains something of an enigma and connections seem unsure as to his optimum requirements, whilst Stormbound receives enough weight all round to be of interest. Robert Winston rates a good booking for Jack Of Diamonds who is going to crop up one of these days and the hooded gelding is expected to be involved at the business end here.
