Fitness is obviously a concern for the returning Todd but this won’t take much winning. Big Picture turned in a shocker here last time but did win at Market Rasen in June, though is still 10lb higher. Gaelic Flow must have each-way claims but LAMH AR LAMH showed some improvement when third at Stratford last week and, despite being a couple of pounds out of the handicap, is one of the few in this with any scope.
