FLASH City can take Southwell by storm in the Archer Electrical Nursery.

A solid five-runner ensemble has been lured to Nottinghamshire to contest this prize, but Bryan Smart’s young buck arguably boasts the nicest profile.

Although the five-furlong heat is teeming with previous winners, it was difficult to escape from Flash City’s promising triumph over course and distance earlier this month.

Raised 5lb for that near-threequarter- length cakewalk, the neatlyreared juvenile then finished an honourable second back over the Southwell five furlongs – with the third home four lengths adrift.

Flash City again wages war with the winner that day, Monsieur Jamie, but is better treated with that rival this time, which could feasibly tip the scales in his favour.

Although the three other aspirants in the field are certainly not without a chance, Flash City is still unexposed, loves competing on Fibresand, and has the excellent Phillip Makin at the helm.

Loyalty should also be on any shortlist for the totepool A Better Way To Bet Handicap.

Derek Shaw’s recent Wolverhampton scorer ran a nice race back at Dunstall Park earlier this month when getting to within a head of Mighty Clarets.

Having been left alone by the assessor, the lightly-raced gelding looks tailor-made for this ramp back up in distance.

Ivan Vasilevich looks one of the likelier sorts on a draining 10-race card at Wolverhampton.

Jane Chapple-Hyam’s juvenile ended his winless hex after eight tries over 10 furlongs earlier in the month, and should have no issue back over a mile in the On The Ashes At totesport.

Ivan Vasilevich could be hard to beat with a 6lb penalty now he has finally got his nose in front.

The Paul Nicholls-trained Toubab was mightily impressive on his Haydock reappearance and gets the vote in an interesting Mitie Kennel Gate Novices’ Hurdle at Ascot.

The French recruit disappointed at odds-on when making his British debut at Taunton in February but he went on to prove that run to be all wrong by chasing home Triumph Hurdle hero Soldatino on his next start at Kempton.

He then finished an excellent fourth in the competitive Swinton Hurdle and he looks sure to do well in novice company this season judged on his recent eight-length defeat of Drill Sergeant.

Nicky Henderson unleashes his hugely exciting prospect Surfing in the totepool Noel Novices’ Chase.

The four-year-old is a multiple winner in France and his new trainer has waxed lyrical about the youngster since he arrived at Seven Barrows.

This is a tough assignment for his British debut, but Henderson is clearly confident he will be up to the task and it would be dangerous to back against him.

At Uttoxeter, course winner Predictive is a confident selection in the Prolog Print Media Novices’ Chase.

The seven-year-old failed to complete on his fencing introduction but put that behind him in some style round here last month.

A winner’s penalty looks unlikely to stop him going in again with the testing conditions right up his street.
