Verdict

Those with previous racecourse experience don't set the bar overly high, although it's perfectly fair to state that Goodwood Rebel was finishing off well when a much improved second at Salisbury (6f, soft). However, with different ground conditions forecast we'll chance that the Mark Johnston-trained FLASHING APPROACH is sharp enough to make a winning debut. This well-related colt cost €110,000 as a yearling and has the distinct advantage of having the reigning (three-time) champion jockey Silvestre De Sousa aboard.
