FLAWLESS ESCAPE made an impressive start to his rules career when successful in a Roscommon bumper a couple of months ago and with trainer Gordon Elliott in flying form at present he can make a winning debut over hurdles. The selection had previously finished runner-up in a point-to-point and can get the better of the experienced Burrows Saint who is making his Irish debut today while Eamon High can follow up his promising debut by claiming third.
