Verdict
Light Flicker is probably having a pipe-opener before resuming his chase career. Caspers Court only won by a nose in lesser company at Fontwell in July and is 4lb higher. Getalead is probably a few pounds too high but was in touch when falling at Worcester in his only recent start. GAULOIS was only third in his only previous run in a handicap but that form couldn’t have worked out much better. He is 3-3 around here and likely to be a short-priced favourite again as he gets on well with Tom Buckley.
