FLINCK ran out of steam in the closing stages when third over a longer trip here on his reappearance. He’ll be sharper for the outing and Philip Hobbs’ charge is expected to improve now handicapping for the first time. Southwell winner Lantiern struggled under a penalty at Hexham last time and also makes his handicap debut while Robinshill’s earlier success at Worcester came over fences and he returned a disappointing favourite back over timber last time. Eaglehill is another likely to improve now handicapping while Aliandy returns to action having placed off today’s mark in the past.
