If anything, this race is weaker than the first division and an opportunity for FLOWERBUD to open her account. She's returned from a break with a couple of decent efforts at Worcester, though the second of those was a seller. Get Home Now looks the principal threat having caught the eye in two runs at Market Rasen lately and he's only a four-year-old. Uttoxeter fourth Chilworth Lass is nothing special but Old Magic has shown signs of ability in the past, though there was no encouragement in his comeback run at Cartmel when surprisingly well backed.
