Put a disappointing effort behind him when finishing second over an extended 5f at Bath (soft) earlier this month. All five turf wins have come at that venue and he remains on a mark 3lb higher than for his latest turf victory.

Returned to form when finishing second over 5f at Nottingham (good-to-soft) last time out. Drop in trip appeared to suit on that occasion and he is one to note once more.

Best effort of late came when finishing runner-up over 5f at Kempton last time out. That came in a Class 7 contest and this looks a much tougher contest.

Admirable veteran who's won 18 times in 198 racecourse appearances. Not the force of old but did finish 1L third over an extended 5f at Bath (soft) earlier this month. Races from out of the handicap.

Awesome Allan (7/4), Flowing Clarets (4/1), John Joiner (6/1), Swendab (8/1), Captain Ryan (10/1), Silver Penny (12/1), Mercers (12/1), Staffa (16/1), Nuzha (16/1), Captain Scooby (16/1), Naralsaif (25/1), Tally's Song (33/1), Fivos (40/1), Dollywaggon Pike (100/1), Special Code (100/1)

Verdict

FLOWING CLARETS can go one better than when finishing runner-up the last twice by taking this competitive sprint handicap. The selection has won over 6f here in the past and is taken to get the better of the three-year-old Awesome Allan who put a number of disappointing efforts behind him when finishing runner-up last time out. The application of blinkers can see Mercers finish third on her return to turf.
