Follow The Flow has been in a rich vein of form of late, winning his last three, but the handicapper has taken note of that and off a 13lb higher mark than on the latest occasion he looks worth taking on which we do with Runaway Bishop, who is preferred to Never Awol. The last mentioned won here two starts ago but disappointed off his new mark at Lingfield last time and is probably best watched today. Lanmire Tower has dropped to a fair mark and has to be respected on the evidence of an encouraging run in a selling handicap at Wetherby two starts ago, while Native Cunning has yet to show he as as effective over the larger obstacles as over timber. Tallow Bay faces no easy task on his reappearance and the vote goes to Runaway Bishop. John Cornwall has his string in good form at present and the son of Lear Fan has been running with some consistency this term. He has been given an ideal opportunity to gain an overdue success.
