FLOW looks the one to beat on these terms. Rated 92, he went close at Chelmsford in March and David Brown's charge is preferred to the veteran Cashpoint. The latter won twice over longer trips last year and stablemate Conry won a claimer at Wolverhampton in September. The three-year-old Deluxe drops in class after a modest effort at Ascot but still has a bit to find despite the weight concession and El Duque has even more on his plate.
