All going seems alike for Follow The Flow, who can maintain an impressive winning sequence here, with Lough Dante and Bak To Bill likely to give him most to do. The selection has been well placed to win five off the reel this winter and he continues to progress, having gone up 32lbs in the past two months. He jumps well, gets this trip well, and has been winning in handicap company, so back with the novices he can make his experience pay. Lough Dante is officially rated 2lb higher than the selection, but has nothing like the experience having run only four times, one of those over fences. Nevertheless that wasn't a bad effort for a long way and he will be straighter for it, so he comes into calculations. Of the remainder, Bak To Bill stayed on well to land a similar contest at Uttoxeter last month, before failing to follow up at Plumpton. He merits respect here, but we intend to Follow The Flow.
