FREE FLOWING displayed plenty of ability when runner-up in a Thurles maiden on hurdles debut recently and with progress anticipated, including now tackling this longer trip, he gets the nod to build on that and go one place better. Demandrivingdouvan rates a big threat though judged on his exploits for Gordon Elliott, with Ik's Man completing the shortlist.
