    Verdict

    All four can be given a chance though Gincident is raised 6lb for winning at Wolverhampton and Naomi's Charm is penalised for an easy success at Southwell having earlier finished behind the runner-up Look Back Smiling over track and trip. But BLUEFLAGFLYINGHIGH was beaten by less than a length when third at Chelmsford on his handicap debut and given he has more scope than today’s rivals, may prove the one to side with.
