Flemensbay found plenty for Richard Johnson over course and distance last month and has only gone up 5lb. Solway Prince was one victim of the Gordon Elliott bandwagon at Perth last week and is knocking on the door. Blackwell Synergy came right back to form here last time while Kinari is interesting going handicapping for the first time, though probably has a few pounds too much. Fontwell scorer Titch Strider and Verko are others to consider but Huntingdon runner-up MR CARDLE is handicapped to go close again if the blinkers have the desired effect.
