Verdict

Lingapour needed every yard of Dundalk's mile when just touching off Echoes Of History earlier this month. Flameoftheforest has produced two excellent runs on heavy ground and there is no reason why he shoudn't be as effective on better going. BAGLIONI is penalised for his two successes including when making a winning return at Leopardstown but could turn out to be quite useful.
