Formscan By Gary Carson - SMOOTH SCOTCH has run well in a couple of strong maiden hurdles this season and can get his head in front now. The Libertarian gelding was fifth behind Cheltenham winner Air Of Entitlement over Christmas and most recently finished third behind Jacob’s Ladder here in January. That form looks strong with the winner following up in Grade 3 company and the runner-up Forty Coats finishing fourth in the Turners’ Novices Hurdle. Autoportrait has been knocking on the door and may appreciate stepping back up in trip here. Butcher Hollow is another contender on the pick of his form.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that at entry have run at least three times over hurdles and have a rating of 120 or less
