FLASH MAN (5) fought on for third last start over 2400m at Saint-Cloud, making it two minor placings in a row. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. NOW THE EAGLE (10) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of N&F Clement & Hermans. By Adlerflug from Now Forever. Expect a bold run. PROCTOR (2) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1700m at Pornichet, beaten 8 lengths. Sure to be about the mark.
