POSSIBLY FLORA ran a cracker when second in a Listed contest over a shorter trip at Cheltenham last time. She's only a pound higher here and, as she has form over 3m on heavy ground, looks the one to beat ahead of Doc Wells and Zama Zama. That pair were first and third over 3m2f here last month but the latter enjoys a 15lb turnaround in the weights for a 10-length defeat. West Cork Flash won over 3m2f at Plumpton last month but that was a first victory in 10 attempts over fences, though he has won four point-to-points.
