In depth
Verdict
Follow The Flag is potentially well treated but hasn't won for a very long time and recent efforts have been less than inspiring. Evergreen Forest didn't beat much at Warwick and is 4lb higher while Enriching, who rattled up a hat-trick last summer, might need this. My Guardian Angel and Flash Crash have a chance at the weights but it's about time FERRYVIEW PLACE was opening his account in this country. He ran well off higher marks on Polytrack over the winter and is from a yard that can get their charges fit on the gallops.
