FLAG OFFICER is bred to be better than this lot and after a promising debut should improve and go one better. The Godolphin runner only narrowly found one too good on that debut effort over course and distance and the way he ran on that day suggested that he knows his job. Show Rainbow has improved in a couple of starts and with Richard Hughes up will have every help from the saddle. Entrance is form powerful connections so after showing some ability in two starts should be respected as should Tenby Lady after a nice debut. A few future winners in here but Flag Officer should be far too good.
