Pour La Victoire has done most of his winning over further, including over 7f here on his latest start. FLECKERL has a penalty but makes more appeal over today's distance as he landed a double with a course and distance victory last week and drops back down a grade for this. Diamond Lady fell victim to the selection earlier while Greyfriarschorista saves his best for Southwell nowadays as when scoring over 7f on the Fibresand last month. The Tichborne won a lower grade handicap over a mile here last time but will find this tougher.
