Flashing Approach was staying on over 1m2f at Chepstow last time and is Mark Johnston’s only runner on the card tonight. Silvestre De Sousa rides and the three-year-old is sure to be popular but front-runner LYRICA’S LION looks a worthy opponent as he has a very good strike-rate, particularly on this quick ground, and looked to be coming to hand last time at Leicester. Uganda Heights may improve for the visor but none of the others make much appeal.
