Venetia Williams has two entries with Charlie Deutsch on board FLOWING CADENZA (NAP), as he was for a very convincing victory in a better race than this at Hereford. A double looks on the cards despite an 8lb rise as White Hart Lady, an impressive winner at Lingfield in November, was beaten when unseating in that Hereford event. Evan Williams is also two-handed and Pageant Material took advantage of heavy ground to score at Fflos Las while Astra Via is just 3lb higher than when scoring at Leicester in March.
