It was soft going when FLOWING CLARETS won on her debut at Leicester in October. Things haven't gone to plan since but recent rain is in her favour here and, tackling her first seller, Richard Fahey's filly looks the pick of the weights ahead of Encantar, who has no form on ground with some give, and Roaring Rory. The latter was beaten by Jaarih in a similar race over course and distance last month and Conor Dore's four-year-old looks the danger to the selection.
Jaarih (IRE) 12-1 (9-2) Steadied start, held up, headway over 1f out, chased leaders inside final furlong, no extra closing stages, 5th of 10, 3 3/4l behind Dynamo Walt (9-5) at Chelmsford City 5f hcp (4) pol in Aug.
Roaring Rory 12-1 (8-13) Chased leaders, ridden halfway, weakened over 1f out, 5th of 7, 6l behind Futoon (9-7) at Newcastle 5f hcp (5) pol in Aug.

Flowing Clarets 17-2 (9-7) Rear division, headway 1f out, kept on same pace, 8th of 12, 4 1/4l behind Sandra's Secret (9-2) at Pontefract 5f hcp (5) gf in Aug.
Classic Flyer 11-1 (10-2) Mid-division, outpaced 2f out, soon ridden, never on terms, 9th of 11, 7 1/4l behind Langley Vale (9-8) at Wolverhampton 6f hcp (6) pol in Aug.
