Venture To Fly is a useful hurdler but hasn't looked the safest of conveyances over fences and may prove vulnerable under top weight. Mulligan Express has clearly had his problems and may need the outing following a near 14-month break while Yankee Jamie lacks chasing experience so the TEAMtalk vote goes to Grangewick Flight. The eight-year-old has proved a model of consistency in similar company of late and looks ready to strike having twice been narrowly denied at Carlisle and Newcastle last month. The son of Lighter, who will relish the testing conditions, should prove hard to beat off his current mark.
