A winner here in March, Flashman is hard to predict but posted one of his better efforts at Fontwell last month and a conditional takes 10lb off his back on this occasion. But RAMORE WILL won over hurdles at the same meeting at Fontwell and he gets the vote to make a winning start over fences in this modest company. Code Of Law is another winner on the same track but he struggled off today’s higher mark last time and the remaining trio all arrive in poor form.
