Peter Grayson's Flow Chart has been running consistently well since winning a handicap at Southwell in December but he is probably better on the Fibresand than the Polytrack and looks best left out of calculations in a race taken to go to AVOW, who gets the vote with Anjomarba rated the best of the remainder. The selection has yet to win a race but Stan Moore's gelding has been running well in defeat in recent starts in handicaps and claimers here and at Kempton and a reproduction of recent form will make him tough to beat at the weights. Gary Moore's Crazy Parachute makes his debut here and is hard to recommend with a bigger threat likely to come from Dean Ivory's Miss Lesley, who has shown better form of late and has every chance at the weights but she may struggle to give 1lb to the selection. Pat Eddery's Kenswick makes limited appeal and of more interest is Bill Turner's Anjomarba, who has been running to a decent level of form in similar races of late. She has to respected but marginal preference is for Avow, who can open his account.
