FACT FLOW was a 66/1 chance when winning for the first time at Uttoxeter from out of the handicap. But he should again beat seventh Way Of The World and a follow-up may be on the cards as he’s effectively only 5lb higher. Jeu De Mots has finished last in all three starts over fences so has some improving to do while Kahdian is now 0-28 under Rules but Ronnie Lawson ran well at Southwell and Catterick over the winter and could be a threat.
