Verdict

UNION FLAG made an encouraging debut over hurdles when third at Cork last month and he can progress from that effort as he makes his first start for Donald McCain. He is taken to get off the mark, though I'm Too Tired also shaped well sent hurdling last time and is feared most, ahead of Ragosina.
