Verdict

FLASHJACK was beaten when falling in a Grade 3 over a longer trip at Sandown last time but his earlier form stands up to scrutiny and Henry Daly's charge may be capable of giving the weight away to progressive four-year-old Red Tornado, off the mark at Ludlow earlier this month, in what looks a match on paper. Falcon's Reign, a winning miler on the Flat, could snatch a place if his jumping proves up to scratch.
