Verdict
Come On Dave finished in front of Entertaining Ben and Flowing Clarets when scoring at Brighton last time and remains on a winning mark. The Big Short opened his account with a success at Leicester but is upped 5lb while Fabulous Flyer was placed yet again when runner-up on the Polytrack here last week ahead of Pharoh Jake. VALE OF FLIGHT only found one too good at Chelmsford so the handicapper has taken a chance dropping her a further 3lb. Silvestre De Sousa’s presence suggests she can go close again today.
