Notnow Seamus won at Kelso over a year ago now and returns off a 6lb higher mark but Frozen Flame has the more recent form with a fourth at Huntingdon when ahead of Lough Salt. The latter had finished much closer before that when runner-up at Wetherby but this can go to LAUGHARNE. The latter was second in a Class 3 hurdle at Ffos Las on is latest start and Tim Vaughan’s charge can go one better in this lower grade.
