Verdict
FLOW CHART is our call with Cian Rooney and More Lashes others to make the shortlist. David Barron's charge does have a poor draw to work from but he kept on well at Beverley on his most recent start and having been the medium of a gamble on his opening bow in April, he must be held in some regard at home. Cian Rooney was behind our selection when they last met. The booking of Tony Culhane appears interesting in an attempt to reverse the form. More Lashes hasn't beaten too many home but the filly has kept counsel in much stronger races than this. Little Rufus has plenty of speed on his mother's side of the pedigree so the market is watched. Wijikura can be expected to improve upon his first run though the breeding suggests that we might see the best of him when he is stepped up in trip. Hot Rod Mamma ran well at Chester though will need to trap out better this afternoon. Saddlers Lodge is another son of Motivator by a Grand Lodge mare so it would be no surprise to see this being plenty sharp enough. Flow Chart is the pick in a race that will require little in the way of winning.
