Flag Of Glory won this off a higher mark last year but was still well beaten when second at Nottingham last time.

Molly King was on board Shirataki when the latter won at Windsor last month and Serena Brotherton partners recent Salisbury winner Edge. Whip Up A Frenzy continues to slide down the weights but came up short once again at Brighton last time.
