There is likely plenty more to come from FLINTEUR SACRE, a full-brother to the mighty Sprinter Sacre, after his promising start over hurdles at Newbury. He pulled hard then but wasn't given at all a hard time once his chance had gone and can leave that form behind with headgear fitted here. The clear danger is Jack Sharp, who made a very encouraging debut here 7 weeks ago and can do a lot better.
