YANKA BLUE is taken to build on last month's Sedgefield second and make a winning start for the Flints. The hard-pulling Hello Sweety is hardly one for maximum faith given her tendency for mistakes but she can play a prominent role if keeping the errors down. The returning Our Nel is one to monitor closely in the betting on this first outing for James Owen.
