Energia Flavio was placed on the Turf course at Lingfield recently but has to race off an 8lb higher mark on the all-weather. Lucky Lodge scored off a similar mark here back in May but Wicked Sea remains 6lb higher than an earlier success at Salisbury and Global Spirit has yet to win anywhere. But THE KING’S STEED recorded a double on the all-weather back in March and after going close over track and trip the last twice, he looks sure to be winning again sooner rather than later.
