Forecasts

Verdict

Though FLEMENSTIDE's future almost certainly lies over fences, the manner of his winning hurdles debut at Ascot suggested that he can make his mark in this sphere prior to tackling the larger obstacles in due course. Unanswered Prayers chased home Flemenstide's classy stablemate Stage Star at Newbury and might have to settle for second again.
