Flemish School's only win so far came over 2m on the all-weather, but course and distance winner Jupiter Storm has tumbled down the weights and Ryan Moore's presence suggests a return to form is expected. Uphold posted a better effort dropped back to 1m2f at Yarmouth last time but Anton Chigurgh was well beaten over track and trip last week and still looks in the handicappers grip. ECHO BRAVA did as well as could be expected in Class 2 company last time and is expected to finish much closer back at this level. A chance is taken on Luke Dace's charge in this.
