Formscan - An eye-catcher when staying on from off the pace over slightly shorter here at the October meeting, IN EXCELSIS DEO looks like a winner waiting to happen, and returning to soft ground is another plus for the son of Saddex. A mark of 132 could greatly underestimate his true ability and he gets the vote ahead of the talented Calico, who has finished behind some high-class rivals over the past year, but is far better suited by drier ground. Betfair Hurdle winner Aucunrisque could be dangerous if allowed to dictate in front.
