It could pay to follow FOLLOW THE FLAG in Division two of the mile handicap, but Certain Justice and Master Pegasus will have their supporters too. The selection ran a good second at Wolverhampton on Wednesday evening under a penalty following a course and distance success previously. He's starting to show the promise we knew he had but seemed reluctant to show, but he does have a low draw to counter. Certain Justice's last win came two years ago, but Steff Liddiard's veteran ran on well to claim a place last time following a lay-off. His rivals weren't even born when he first started winning, and success for the old boy would go down well with many. Master Pegasus may need to sprout wings to land this, but could take advantage if there's any trouble in running. He's been disappointing for most of the last year, but should still be too good for some of these. It's not a contest to get to excited about, but the most likely winner from a moderate field, we think is Follow The Flag.
