Verdict

FIRST FLOW is impossible to oppose in this company. Kim Bailey’s charge bids for a hat-trick having landed the odds by a wide margin in tougher races than this at Leicester and Doncaster and a clear round should be enough to see him home. Rollerruler finished closer at Musselburgh last time but still has a stack to find with the selection on these terms despite receiving plenty of weight while Grumpy Boots and Nettlebush have yet to show any worthwhile form.
