Neck winner of a handicap event over an extended 5f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last month. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and an interesting runner in this.

Victorious at Leicester over 5f (good-to-firm) last time out. Made all on that occasion having been slowly away on his previous start and remains of interest despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

20/1
Consistent so far in 2017 placing in seven of her eight starts. Only unplaced effort came over C&D a month ago and she appears to be better on AW surfaces.

Forecasts

Vale Of Flight (3/1), The Big Short (7/2), Flowing Clarets (4/1), Glacier Point (11/2), Come On Dave (6/1), John Joiner (8/1), Pharoh Jake (8/1), Entertaining Ben (20/1), Fabulous Flyer (20/1)

Verdict

The booking of Silvestre De Sousa for VALE OF FLIGHT catches the eye here and she races off a mark significantly lower than when last running on turf in October last year. The selection has been in decent form on the AW this spring and can go one better than when runner-up at Chelmsford last time out. Come On Dave ran well when winning at Brighton last time and can claim second off this 1lb higher mark here while fellow last time out winner The Big Short can claim third.
