Lots of unknowns here, but what we do have knowledge of is how well FLASHCARD came home here last week, once the penny had dropped. Andrew Balding looks to have found him a good opportunity to defy a penalty and win again. Garrison Commander and Emeraldsandpearls both look worth checking in the market ahead of their debuts, while John Betjeman should also be competitive again.
