FLANAGANS FIELD only won a seller at Catterick but this is no better. He has been raised 6lb but was a good second off this mark at Bangor in December and Charlie Price gets on really well with the 12-year-old. Danny McMenamin might get a tune out of Oceanus but his mount is returning from a break. Hello Bob looks the pick of the remainder ahead of First Of Never, who is still 3lb higher than when a shock winner here more than a year ago.
