Worcestershire based trainer Tom Gretton is a rare visitor to Newcastle, so it is noteworthy that he has booked the North's leading rider Brian Hughes for the chasing debut of Kauto Riko, whilst both Applaus and Barry's Jack face slightly easier assignments than in their most recent races. However, CELTIC FLAMES has always looked likely to come good when switched to fences and he was a decisive scorer in deep ground on his rules chasing debut at Hexham last month, and a subsequent 5lb rise in the weights doesn't appear enough to thwart his progress.
