Verdict

FLOW WATER FLOW (5) gets the nod off two close runs at this venue, fourth over 7f when beaten just under two lengths most recently. Purton trialled him recently and sticks from that outing as he steps out to 1 ?m where he was a winner last season. Still has some upside and can get back to winning ways. CALL ME MAGNIFIQUE (3) resumes off a 1 ¼m win at this track, albeit at long odds. His latest trial suggests it's not a fluke though and the inside draw should see him in the firing line from the outset. He's a fresh winner in the past and looks a leading chance. HYMNBOOK (9) gave a solid return when third at Happy Valley, beaten just over a length. Out to this trip looks a bonus and he won't be far away.
