FLASHJACK relished being back over hurdles last time out, winning over this trip at Warwick on deep ground. That was a conditionals race so he escapes a penalty for that success. Rated 130 at his peak, he runs off 104 here so unsurprisingly he has to be the pick and will prove tough to beat. Kalmbeforethestorm goes well fresh as when second at Newton Abbot last time. The ground is a slight unknown, but he stays well and comes in off the back of another rest. Invicta Lake was far better than these a few years ago, he shapes as if he can cash in on his declining mark this season.
