Verdict

FLYING SCOTSMAN arrives in form and might prove the answer to this very tricky handicap. Mighty Tom ran a good first race for his new stable when third in a big field at Punchestown last month and heads the many possible dangers along with The Big Chap and Viceregent, who is quite closely matched with the selection on Fairyhouse form before Christmas.

  1. FLYING SCOTSMAN (IRE)
  2. MIGHTY TOM (IRE)
  3. THE BIG CHAP (IRE)
