Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott's ENKI FLACKE looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is fancied to extend his winning sequence to four after completing a Perth hat-trick in the early summer. Ashington has made an encouraging start for Mark Walford and must enter calculations eased 2 lb in the weights here, while the returning Fine Casting and progressive Fairyhouse scorer Sweet Will are two more to consider.
