From a shortlist of Following Flow, Royal Wedding, Forfeiter and Major Faux Pas, we will take a chance on Following Flow Missatacama won a course and distance maiden last time and we will find out how good that form is today. A similar comment applies to Party Boss, who scored in a seven-furlong Southwell maiden. Following Flow is the type to do well as a three-year-old and, following a run on this surface last time, should be able to build on things. That's the hope, anyway. Royal Wedding left his Turf form behind after being gelded when winning at Southwell last time, although the form probably does not amount to too much. Je Suis Belle and Mac Cois Na Tine are overlooked because they have yet to race on this surface. Forfeiter and Major Faux Pas are at the top end of the handicap for a reason, namely that they have the best form. They should also have improvement in them, as should the selection, which is Following Flow.
