Formscan - Now that the penny has dropped for CAITHNESS after a taking success over C&D last time out, there should be plenty more to come from the seven-year-old on his handicap debut. Placed here over further in April and relatively consistent last season, Ravenscar is a key threat, along with Telhimlisten, who returns to hurdles having won his last four in this sphere. Others to note include Cuzco Du Mathan, Duyfken and Valence D'Aumont.
