Despite some indifferent jumping, FLINTSTONE got the better of an odds-on favourite at Stratford nine days ago. That should have taught him plenty and he probably has more scope than Uttoxeter scorer Rolypolymoly. Anger Management, Cailin Saoirse and Rogue Mission are others who need to brush up their hurdling technique while Milly Molly Mandy was modest in the extreme on the level.
