1/1

11/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Catterick (13.9f, heavy) 7 days ago, leading over 2f out and soon in command. Carries penalty. Shortlist material.

Form: 46-8621

Forecasts

Ben Lilly (1/1), The Fiddler (11/2), Flash Point (6/1), A Touch Of Luck (8/1), Atailof Two Cities (11/1), Nearly There (14/1), Dragon Glass (25/1), Chinese Alphabet (28/1), Artistic Streak (40/1), Jan De Heem (40/1), The Resdev Way (50/1), Fair Sheriff (80/1)

FLASH POINT and Ben Lilly both carry a penalty for their recent victories, and preference is for the former having finally got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh 9 days ago. Ben Lilly seemed to relish the heavy ground at Catterick last week and conditions are unlikely to be so much in his favour here. A Touch of Luck and Artistic Streak can fight out the minor honours.
