A good race and connections will be hoping that Tidal Flow bounces back after his lacklustre display in a Grade 2 last time. Emitom is unbeaten under rules and comes here with very strong claims once again. GALLAHERS CROSS should have learnt plenty from his hurdling debut at Ascot and remains with plenty of potential, especially in receipt of weight from the top two.
