Verdict

THE FLIER BEGLEY made a promising start to his hurdles career when fourth in a deeper maiden than this at Navan last month and he's very much the one to beat. Your Own Story changed hands for £85,000 after a brace of point wins so has to command respect, along with Geordies Dream and Charm Offensive.
