WOODIE FLASH was a winner of a point-to-point for previous connections and Olly Murphy’s gelding has given the impression in two starts under Rules that he is in need of a trip. The assessor only rates Teeceethree at a mark of 93 but she is a winner of a bumper and may have found two miles around here to be on the sharp side. Carpe Diem was quietly backed on debut and there could be more to come. Presenting Nelly is a sister to a previous winner over staying distances and she must be respected from a top stable. Flying Standard scored over two miles on the Flat when trained by Chris Wall and could be anything.
