Despite his big weight, Red Flyer cannot be discounted especially with the useful claimer Jamie Moore taking 5lbs off his back, but we prefer the chance of recent Stratford winner Wild Power, who still looks well treated under his penalty, for he will surely have more to do when reassessed. The change in tactics clearly suited well that day and if he employs the same front-running tactics here, he could prove difficult to peg back. No shortage of dangers including Red Flyer, who is 3lbs lower than when chasing home Blue Hawk at Uttoxeter last month. Although that was only a seller, it was quite competitive, and the winner, who had been lightly raced in recent years, is certainly better than a normal plater. Leophin Dancer is 9lbs higher than when bolting up in a seller at Worcester last month, but has the valuable assistance of the champion and is one to keep an eye on, while the locally-trained Breathtaking View confirmed his well-being when chasing home Risky Way last time. A 4lbs rise in the weights isn't sure to stop him. Cool Roxy has only failed to finish outside the first four here once in five outings and clearly likes the Norfolk air, but we will stick with Wild Power, who could well prove to be one step ahead of the handicapper.
