5/2

Resumed winning ways back on the Flat in 5-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 13/8) 6 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Escapes a peanlty for that win and should go close here.

Forecasts

Nelson River (5/2), Figeac (11/2), Ivaquestion (6/1), Flat To The Max (7/1), Dynali (10/1), Kozier (11/1), Blazon (11/1), Zarafshan (12/1), Broughtons Admiral (18/1), Bird For Life (20/1), Tin Fandango (22/1), Capricorn Prince (25/1), Alcock And Brown (25/1), Spanish Persuader (150/1)

This can go to FIGEAC, who gained his first victory on these shores under an enterprising Adam Kirby ride at Lingfield 9 days ago and should be able to defy a 4 lb penalty. Flat To The Max heads up the dangers having been unlucky not to finish closer when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week, while Bird For Life and Nelson River can fight out the minor honours.
