Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained FLYING ACE must concede 10lb and upwards to his rivals, but even that might not be enough to stop the progressive gelding from completing his hat-trick. The son of Jet Away can prove too strong for the likes of Way Maker, who finished a creditable second at Southwell latest, and hurdling newcomer Moi Mon Vieux, who displayed ability in a bumper on his UK debut.
