Ryan Moore takes over on Flood Warning but she was well behind runner-up First Nation at Doncaster earlier in the month with the latter disappointing since. Bear Valley won a nursery at Goodwood last year and drops in class on his return but the handicap newcomers have more scope. Of those, Century Dream and Anythingtoday won their respective maidens at the end of last year and Glencadam Glory was put away having won at Doncaster in September. But the latter’s stable companion, NASEEM was the most visually impressive having beaten a subsequent winner by five lengths at Chelmsford in December and he looks yet another promising three-year-old for the Gosden yard.
