Formscan - FIREBLADE failed to score in novice company, although he showed enough to make him of interest now handicapping. Dylan Cunha's new inmate finished third, a place behind a subsequent winner, at Kempton in January and James Doyle's presence is another positive. Expert Witness ran well for fourth at Wolverhampton on her debut for new connections and looks worth another try over this longer distance. Orchard Keeper and Zayina make most appeal of those returning to action.
