Pressurize is not the most consistent but is only 3lb higher than when scoring at Chepstow earlier this month. He steps up in trip for this but DOING FINE (NAP) found only Rocky Creek too good in the London National at Sandown over 3m5f in December and Neil Mulholland’s charge should make a bold bid in this lower grade contest. Frampton has the past form but has not raced since placed at Kempton back in 2015 while Flaming Charmer has something to prove at this level having won at Exeter earlier off a similar mark to today.
