Verdict

FLYING NUN is bred to be useful and has been brought along gradually to this point, so it would be no great surprise were she to prove better than an opening mark of 94. She gets the nod ahead of fellow handicap debutant King Arise, while Antony should make his presence felt if he's in the same form as last time.
