In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest here with many having chances on there best form. In The Flow ran as if in need of the run on his reappearance he should strip a lot fitter today and despite top weight he is taken to score. Isam Top showed improved form to score at Fontwell last time and if he has improved again he should take a hand in the finish. Investor Relations could also run into a place but he has run well without winning and he may be in the handicappers grip. Derryquin is also one to consider he won well here on his debut here and he could be well in on his first try in handicap company. Lincoln Place had been in good form over fences prior to his fall and if he can reproduce that form back over hurdles he should go well. Roman Candle is also one to consider with a top jockey booked.
