    Verdict

    It was soft going when FLOWING CLARETS won on her debut at Leicester in October. Things haven't gone to plan since but recent rain is in her favour here and, tackling her first seller, Richard Fahey's filly looks the pick of the weights ahead of Encantar, who has no form on ground with some give, and Roaring Rory. The latter was beaten by Jaarih in a similar race over course and distance last month and Conor Dore's four-year-old looks the danger to the selection.
