Verdict
Flashman opened his account over a longer trip in a maiden at Redcar and has been raised 8lb for his trouble but Fleeting Fashion may figure as she left her previous form behind to score over today's distance at Beverley last month with Mr Snoozy and Brasingaman Espee behind. However, top weight SAFFA HILL makes more appeal as he was beaten less than a length when third in a higher grade handicap at Redcar last time - Tim Easterby's charge can land this with a similar effort. Jennifer J was a losing favourite at Yarmouth last month but wasn't beaten far and will be looking to make amends.
