Iguacu, Jonnie Skull and Lordship have all won races on the Flat but none of them have a progressive profile and the market will probably be the best guide to their chances in this. CASTLE BEACH ran the useful Falcarragh to a length-and-three-quarters over 2m4f at Worcester last month and that form his head and shoulders above that of his rivals. He should get off the mark today as Lady Lectra's initial promise has faded in a couple or recent runs at Newton Abbot.
