Olly Murphy's THE FLYING POET is given the nod to build on a promising start to his handicap career at Ffos Las last month. The consistent Donso Star should be on the premises if her stamina holds now moving up to 3m, while King Coconut is an unexposed handicap newcomer who would firmly enter the reckoning should the betting speak in his favour..
