Flow handles soft ground and wears his owners first colours ahead of Stomachion after winning at Ripon on his reappearance. Top Dikat is up another 5lb as he chases a five-timer on the back of victory at Windsor while Border Legend went close on the Turf course at Lingfield on his comeback and can figure. Yojojo and Raskova are up in class but COSSETED scored in good style in this grade at Doncaster a fortnight ago and it's James Fanshawe's filly that gets the nod in a tight handicap.
