Interesting longshot @ Churchill today

I noticed a couple of interesting points about Flash Harry (20/1) in Race 12 @ Churchill today.
First off, his mom St Trinians was a monster (with a very distinctive stride, curious if this one will show the same). Secondly, and more importantly, note that he worked heads-up on Nov. 9 with McCracken, who is 2-for-2 and the favorite in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (Race 11). Same rider named on both, btw.
Also, note that McCracken worked in 102.1 six days before his stakes win. Flash Harry worked in 102.1 six days before this race. Perhaps a sign of intent there. Be advised however, trainer Ian Wilkes is close to an automatic throw out with first-time starters (and note that McCraken got bet down to 5/2 in an 11-horse field first time out; clearly the barn knew something that day). Will be noteworthy if Flash Harry takes some action here.
PS - Rad Red (also 20/1) is also trained by Ian Wilkes as well, and appears to have taken part in that Nov. 9 drill also), but note that Flash Harry appears to have smoked that one from the gate in the two subsequent drills. And of course, Flash Harry has St Trinians and the jockey angle working, whereas Rad Red does not.
