A leap of faith is required for Hardtorock and Riddlestown is hardly consistent and Flashman has never been easy to predict. Along with Grayhawk and John Daniell, he was comfortably beaten by WAITINONASUNNYDAY at Fontwell last time and Michael Blake’s six-year-old appears upwardly mobile. Belmont Park was in front when unseating his rider at Huntingdon on Thursday but this might come soon enough.
