FLINT HILL won over hurdles earlier in the year and returned to the Flat with a victory over 2m1f at Pontefract. This looks no tougher despite a 3lb rise while Arctic Fox went close over 1m4f here looking to end a long losing run and can figure again. The veteran Nakeeta placed over 1m6f last time while Lady Isabel also steps up in trip after winning in soft ground at Brighton. Arabist finished third over 2m at Chester having slipped down the weights while Kangaroo Point, a prolific winner on the all-weather, is unexposed on this surface.
