FLECKERL was beaten in a claimer last time by Field Of Dream, rated 89, but had gone close in this grade before that. Conor Dore's charge gets the nod to confirm running with Hannington and come out best. Recent Class 5 handicap winner Presumido has a tougher task, as does Chelmsford maiden winner Russian Reward, but Franco's Secret is not out of this off only a 2lb higher mark than when successful at Windsor in August. Dream Spirit has tumbled down the weights this year and has claims if rediscovering his best.
