Flemcara has been raised 8lb for winning a handicap at Worcester last month while Indy Five landed a novices’ hurdle at Warwick back in May. But CESAR COLLONGES (NAP) has a more recent success under his belt when beating subsequent winner Canny Style at Carlisle and Evan Williams’ charge may be the one to side with now handicapping. Watcombe Heights was placed over these hurdles on his latest start while Albert D'olivate was a well beaten fourth at the same meeting here last month.
