Flexi Furlough was only beaten a neck at Huntingdon on Boxing Day but he’s been creeping up the weights without winning. CONCEROE only won a maiden at Fakenham but is beginning to fulfil his potential over hurdles and Jack Andrews takes off 5lb on his handicap debut. The top weight gets the nod ahead of the hat-trick seeking course and distance winner You Some Boy, who is up another 4lb, and the lightly-raced maidens Tim Pat and Ashover Hills.
