Verdict
FLOWSTATE got stuck in traffic at a crucial stage at Southwell last weekend. He would likely have finished closer than fourth with a clear run and, considering he landed a double over C&D before that, David O'Meara's charge remains of interest off his current mark. Course regular Spartan Fighter has been in fine form over 6f here this year and cannot be ruled out, while Beauty Choice is preferred of the rest.
Expert View Verdict
FLOWSTATE failed in his bid for a hat-trick at Southwell last time but that was a good race for the grade and he didn't get the best of runs. He'd won back-to-back over this C&D previously and his current mark of 72 may not be beyond him. Andalprofit is coming off a good fourth over C&D last time, on his second run back from a break, and he's been eased a further 1lb. Only a 4yo, he's open to further progress and can give the selection most to think about. Dorney Lake is easing in the weights but with good reason. However, he's now dropping into a Class 5 for the first time and could benefit from the step back up to 7f if settling.
