Formscan - An intriguing contest in which Irish raider Malina Girl again has to be considered despite picking up an 11lb rise for a commanding course win last month (City Chief 14 lengths away in fourth). For all that, Nigel Twiston-Davies has made no secret of the high regard in which he holds the novice BROADWAY BOY, who could be well ahead of this opening chase mark on the evidence of an emphatic Listed success over 3m here last month. Of the remainder, Easy As That shaped well in the Pappy Power on his return and looks worth a tilt at this longer trip.
