Verdict
Green Flag got off the mark under Rules at the first time of asking over C&D last month and has already won a point-to-point on similar going. He'll make a bold bid to defy his penalty but could find another winning pointer, BEEVES, too strong at the weights. The latter has now joined Donald McCain and could go on to hold his own in better company in the future. The four-year-old Ronnie Rhino built on a promising debut at Doncaster to score at Carlisle and should give another good account but stablemate Angrove Rumbaba is best watched on his introduction.
