Formscan  - Although ASTA LA PASTA struggled in the Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton last month, this isn't as competitive and there is a real chance he'll gain an uncontested lead. Flic Ou Voyou hit the woodwork in a valuable veterans' final at Haydock latest and is respected, along with Sainte Doctor, who has improved markedly over the larger obstacles since returning in February.
