    Verdict

    First Flow couldn’t manage the finishing speed of Boothill at Ascot but will appreciate a return to this more suitable trip. He finished well clear of Quel Destin that day with the latter only winning a match subsequently. War Lord is hard to catch right and hasn’t won for a while so GOOD RISK AT ALL (NAP) looks the safest option. The least exposed of these, he probably didn’t stay 3m at Cheltenham having impressed earlier at Carlisle.
