Verdict
Flowing Clarets finished in front of Mercers when scoring over 5f at Windsor and the former can race off a lower mark back on the all-weather. Deer Song is another recent winner over the minimum trip but that was his first success in 38 attempts while Zenovia has failed to figure since finishing well ahead of both Monarch Maid and Multi Quest when scoring at Wolverhampton. WILD FLOWER has won twice on Turf this year and was placed at Wolverhampton last time. It could be her turn again today and Jimmy Fox’ mare gets the nod.
