None of these inspire confidence but FLOWER POWER finished fourth in a higher grade over today’s distance at Ripon last time and should figure again. Lever Du Soleil finished in front of Surrender when winning over a longer trip at Redcar before disappointing last time while Exclusive Waters was still a long way behind the winner when recently placed at Redcar. Midnight Warrior is back on a winning mark and Claramara may do better back over today’s longer distance.
