SGT RECKLESS finished a close-up third over 1m4f here on his return to the Flat. The bumper and hurdles winner should go close again racing off the same mark today. Next Train's Gone is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark having won over 2m at Chelmsford in October but Chelsea's Boy is not badly treated as he steps up in distance on his return to action. Be My Sea was second over hurdles last month and is a course and distance winner but See And Be Seen was still beaten a long way when placed a Wolverhampton recently.
