Though she remains a maiden following a dozen attempts, GREEK FLOWER made the frame for the seventh time when runner-up over 7f Down Royal last month. This drop back in trip looks a good move and she is taken to get off the mark, perhaps at the chief expense of First Gentleman. Of the others, Nouvel Espoir is the most interesting.
