Toni's A Star finished well ahead of Celerity when scoring over the minimum trip at Haydock recently and can race off a similar mark back on the all-weather. Spin Top posted his best effort so far this year when third at Ffos Las last week and can figure but FLOWING CLARETS (NAP) looks set to exploit a slide down the weights having finished in front of Ask The Guru and Hurricane Alert when runner-up over course and distance last time and John Bridger’s mare gets the nod.
