None inspire confidence but the veteran FLANAGANS FIELD finished third in a similar contest at Fakenham last month. He should be thereabouts at the finish once again in this company and is preferred to stablemate Global Thrill. The Herds Garden won at Kelso in September but has struggled in three subsequent starts while Tim Rocco gets a change of headgear and slips further down the weights. Dahills Hill can only improve on a recent comeback run at Wetherby having won over timber back in 2018.
