Verdict
A tricky seller but Flow Beau hinted at a return to form last time and might be worth taking a chance on. A winner from a two-pound higher mark at Warwick last year, she clearly has a chance if at her best. Of the rest, Pinot Noir is interesting given that he won from a mark of 70 last year at Brighton (now races off 60), Ace Of Trumps is running well from his current mark and has won from a slightly higher rating, and Stallone comes here in form although he hasn't won since the year 2000. Erupt is three pounds higher than for his Ayr selling win and Ivory Bay is certainly on a winning mark but has never won at beyond a mile. Jezadil is rated higher on the AW, Next Flight can be given place claims, and Dundonald might improve for a step up in trip. Cezzaro is also back on a winning mark, while Royal Romeo has bits of form and is another who is trying a new trip. The same is true of Prince Millennium, who has never won a race but could conceivably improve for the step up in distance.
