Improving Flintham lives up to family name

Flintham continued a magical month for the Mark Bradstock stable when returning to winning ways in the Centerplate Banquet Catering Handicap Hurdle at Ffos Las.

The half-brother to Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Coneygree and full-brother to Carruthers, who struck at Newbury last weekend, completed an amazing two weeks for the mare Plaid Maid when getting his career back on track with a convincing victory.

Flintham (11-4) was always prominent under emerging 5lb claimer Sean Bowen before taking a clear lead from three out.
