FLOW is less exposed than most of these have raced only twice this year. Lady Cecil's colt wasn't beaten far at Newbury last time despite finishing fifth and gets the vote competing off the same mark today. Berlusca is upped 10lb after a runaway win at Musselburgh and Bold Duke has been raised the same amount on the back of last month's double. San Cassiano remains well treated on his best form despite a 5lb rise for winning at Redcar last week and should figure while Hefner could get involved dropped in class. War Poet and Hunting Ground are others with a shout.
