An uninspiring start to proceedings and senior runner FLANAGANS FIELD is only a token selection. He won off this mark when last appearing in a seller at Plumpton in November so is preferred to stablemate Global Thrill. Booborowie was successful when last running over hurdles and has had a recent run on the all-weather. Outrath is now 0-14 over timber but Ted Bach won off a pound higher mark at Fontwell exactly a year ago today and arrives in better form than most.
