THE MOYGLASS FLYER was a shade too free to repeat his win in a Leopardstown handicap in December, but it was still a very promising third-place finish and having crept in right at the foot of the weights, he's an obvious contender. Hes A Hardy Bloke is on the up and commands the utmost respect on handicap debut, along with Advanced Virgo.
