Formscan - MATATA put in an excellent round of jumping when making all to win on his chasing bow at Ffos Las in October, and natural improvement could make Nigel Twiston-Davies' six-year-old a tough nut to crack. Libberty Hunter came down three out at Chepstow on his first start over the larger obstacles, but he made no mistake when scoring at Wincanton next time and he merits respect along with Petit Tonnerre, who was far from disgraced in the Henry VIII at Sandown.
