Scartare is now 0-41 in career starts and 5lb out of the handicap in this but Light Flicker was progressive over the larger obstacles last term and should be thereabouts if fully wound-up. Writteninthesand beat a big field at Market Rasen in August but couldn’t cope with a 6lb rise against only two rivals at Fontwell, though that form has been franked. SUNNY EXPRESS has yet to win a race of any description but he’s not short of ability and, following wind surgery and a further drop in the ratings, he may finally be ready to open his account.
