Verdict
Flichity looks to be up against it in this from 32lb out of the handicap on ground that is much softer than ideal. All going seem to come alike to NOMADIC STORM (NAP), however, as he was always going best when scoring on a heavy surface at Plumpton on his reappearance having won on fast ground over this course and distance last June - another victory looks on the cards. Front-runner Frizzo may be high enough in the weights at present while these fences can be tricky so chasing debutant Got The Nac is probably best watched.
