Verdict
WILD FLOWER races off the same mark as when landing this last year under Megan Nicholls. Returning from a break at Brighton last month, she was beaten under a length so a repeat may be on the cards. Violet's Lads was second on her only previous run here and also last time at Lingfield when only a pound lower. Flowing Clarets was runner-up twice on Polytrack and Lingfield last month but has done all of her winning over 5f and is better handicapped on the all-weather. Frank Cool could be best of the rest if forgiven a poor run when favourite last time at Lingfield.
