Blinkers clearly did the trick for LUNAR FLOW at Uttoxeter on Saturday as he made all and, despite a couple of jumping errors, had all of his rivals in trouble a long way from home. If the headgear works a second time and he copes with these stiff fences, Jamie Snowden’s six-year-old has every chance of a quick follow-up under his penalty. Sweettoothtommy is starting to come down the weights and should find a race like this in the coming weeks, though is possibly up against a better handicapped rival today. The likes of Leith Hill Legasi, The Last Bridge and Musical Wedge have plenty to prove at present.
