Verdict

Flag Of Honour makes his handicap debut and looks on a high enough mark for what he has achieved over fences. Ard Agus Fada landed a handicap at Gowran on heavy ground in January and was having his first start subsequently when beaten a long way on good going here in October. Gentleman Jim is blinkered for the first time after several moderate efforts over 2m4f and would have a chance of making all if they have the desired effect. INDIAN BUCK had shown virtually nothing over fences before a much-improved run behind Peak Raider at Gowran in November when Second Glance was just behind. Arthur Moore's charge should have more progress in him and he can gain his first-ever success.
