FLASH GORCOMBE showed plenty starting out over fences at Exeter on New Year's Day and could be set for a big run dropped 4 lb. Folly Gate isn't one for the faint-hearted but would have won here before Christmas if getting over the last and he'll rightfully have his supporters again. That contest went to Letsbe Avenue and he's not dismissed. Gabriel's Getaway is another to note going chasing for the first time.
