Flash Crash returns to the Flat with a chance but is 6lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton early last year. LEXINGTON BAY makes more appeal given he is a course and distance winner and has won for an amateur before. Ivestissement also won one of these events last year but ran poorly on his only previous start on Fibresand while Scribe returns to action off a 9lb higher mark than when scoring at Bath last summer, though he has won this surface in the past.
