FLINTHAM has lacked consistency over fences but was just denied in a Grade 2 at Ascot around this time last year and would take all the beating if running anywhere near that form. Rolling Dylan has been placed in all three starts around here but carries a penalty for winning a handicap at Worcester in November. Robin Of Locksley has not built on a second at Uttoxeter in October with his only recent win coming when well treated in a seller over timber.
