Formscan  - Mermaids Cave shouldn't be judged too harshly on her latest defeat over fences at Worcester and better is expected on this switch to hurdling. However, a drop in trip could prove on the sharp side for the Court Cave mare and it may be worth chancing FORGET THE WAY. James Owen's charge landed last year's edition of this race in ready fashion and a reproduction of his second at Southwell two starts ago may suffice. Annexation is the pick of the remainder.
