Sizable Sam was strongly fancied for the 1.35 at Wincanton yesterday. In his likely absence, The Bomber Liston will probably be favourite having found the trip too short when beaten in a bumper at Catterick. Flash Collonges overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Exeter but didn’t get very far next time at Doncaster. FRENCH PARADOXE may offer some value as he’s shown ability against decent opposition in both starts over hurdles this season.
