Verdict
Flourishing was only beaten a neck at Beverley last month and has some scope, though her overall form is nothing special. Greenview Paradise will be having her ninth career start and has already been beaten several times in handicaps, though her latest third at Carlisle was probably her best run to date. Mudallel is rated 77, 2lb higher than the four-year-old Haraz, but that looks flattering, though he ran his best race over this trip as a two-year-old. ANCIENT FOE is the only debutant in the line-up but this may not take much winning. He’s a brother to a useful miler and a half-brother to French Listed winner Sparkling Beam so gets a tentative vote.
