With plenty who like to race on or near the pace it may pay to side with the five-year-old FLICKA'S BOY. The selection generally races in mid-division and is contesting his first Class 6 contest here having been dropped 2lb for his fifth placed finish at Newcastle last October. Tony Coyle's charge won on his seasonal debut over C&D in 2015 and finished third on his re-appearance last year and can get the better of the in-form Major Valentine who made all last time out but is generally versatile in terms of tactics and Chip Or Pellet who was victorious on his final outing of last season on Newcastle's AW and is generally held up for a late run.
