Final Lap has had plenty of opportunities to win races but still only has a weak seller at Stratford to his name. He looks pretty exposed and others are preferred. Fraternize will have his supporters from the Pipe yard and should be better than his debut where he finished a never nearer fourth to Governor Daniel at Ludlow. Flush has obviously had training problems but is a capable sort on his day. If all is well he has place claims. Orange Tree Lad has been showing improvement over hurdles of late and is not totally ruled out of this with question marks about most of the runners. Zaajer ran in the Epsom Derby in 1999 and held a degree of ability on the Flat but has failed to shine over hurdles hence his appearance in this seller. He can be given another chance at this level and is the TEAMtalk selection. Stocks 'n Shares put up his best career performance at this track two starts ago and if repeating that run could go close.
