Verdict

Possible favourite Flow Chart looks worth taking on here with doubts about the surface, and we'll do just that by selecting AVOW ahead of Ramamara. Stan Moore's gelding was only beaten a head when last seen and can go one better here, despite having a bit to do at the weights. With an absence to contend with as well our selection is something of a speculative one, but as that effort last time looks solid and it came over course and distance we're prepared to take a chance on his fitness. Ramamara was only a head behind a really solid sort last time, and with today's trip ideal the Evans runner is worth plenty of respect dropped in grade. He's solid enough, although we feel our selection might improve past him in time. Flow Chart won well at Southwell on his penultimate start before struggling under a penalty, and we feel David Barron's gelding will struggle once more here, especially as this track presents an altogether different proposition. As such, more of a threat may come from Maoi Chinn Tire who is a stablemate of our selection and carries top weight. Riding arrangements suggest we've selected the better fancied of the pair but the market will reveal more clues. Major Maximus also rates a threat. He should be suited by stepping down from a mile and is preferred to City Gossip who is yet to race here. Marjolly was strongly backed before disappointing at Southwell last time and is up against it at the weights, as is Mind The Monarch who has a good draw to work from but will need to improve. A pretty competitive contest for the grade and our hopeful selection to land it is Avow.
