In depth
Verdict
Karma Chameleon has a penalty for last week's win at Kempton, though that form doesn't look much better than Quixote's second at this track last time. Jimmy The Lollipop landed a claimer here in August and this isn't any tougher, while Let Your Love Flow has also been in fine form in plating company recently, though this is a step up. However, a chance is taken that FLYING PICKETS can transfer his winning ways from Southwell back onto the Polytrack as Alan McCabe's charge has the strongest form and looks the one to beat if doing so.
