Flower leads by one point from Oliver Davenport who took second in both Tuesday’s races.
While overnight leader Charlie Cumbley slips to third with a 6 and 3, and six points off the leader.
Richard Lovering (-8, 5) remains in fourth, but now 7pts off the podium trio and coming under pressure from Jamie Morgan (5, 4) in fifth.
