Formscan By Gary Carson - FOLLOWING ORDERS ran a cracker on his racecourse bow at Leopardstown 13 days ago and can open his account now. The Order Of St George gelding got within three-parts-of-a-length of Solsbury Hill then. It wasn’t the strongest contest, with the winner rated 100, but this doesn’t appear to be the hottest heat either. Free Flow didn’t make any impression on the front pair when third at Punchestown last month but it was still a promising enough run and he should play a bigger part now in this company. Slieve Annilog has been given a rating of 112 after three decent enough efforts in strong maiden hurdles. If he runs up to that he’ll be a big player.
