Formscan - Although finishing down the field in the ultra-competitive Grand Annual at Cheltenham last month, CALICO should fare much better in these calmer waters. A reproduction of his runner-up effort at Doncaster in January may prove sufficient, with amateur Sean O'Connor good value for his 7lb claim. The biggest threat may emerge from Prince Quali, who landed a first victory on these shores when scoring over C&D in late February, while Sans Bruit may prove more competitive on this return to chasing.
