Express Flames flies in for Nokes

John Nokes's Express Flame bounced back to form last night night when the daughter of Hondo Black x Express Mist stormed to a three length success in an Open Race for bitches at Nottingham.

Flame quickly established herself in front of the field after breaking well and as soon as she was round the first bend the rest of the field could only chase her shadow as she took the 500 metres contest in 29.66.
