Verdict
Just the one piece of form of offer in the shape of DESIGN FLAW's fair sixth on bumper debut at Newbury last month. She was noted staying on steadily up the straight in Berkshire and should prove well suited to stepping up now to 2m. She should certainly be in the shake-up with the benefit of that run to call upon. Douglas Dc is sure to be popular for Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd and rates an obvious threat alongside Noel Meade's Fuoco, whilst the market should help to sort out the remainder, of which Famous Agent makes most appeal at this stage.
