Celtic Flames has won twice around here but, like Lady Bowes is returning from a break. Gortroe Joe is back over hurdles after a couple of runs over fences and should give a good account but Flint Hill has gone up 8lb for last month’s course and distance victory in lesser company. Placed at Carlisle and Sedgefield since failing to take to the larger obstacles. MINELLA TRUMP will not be fazed by recent rain and can get his head back in front ahead of consistent novice Getaway Luv. Lower down the weights, Saint Arvans and Pammi would have each-way claims at bigger odds.
