Formscan - Although a faller at the third last at Uttoxeter in late December, DICKENS looked likely to play a leading role in the finish. Alan King's charge had previously finished fifth at Chepstow, form which has worked out extremely well, and a breakthrough victory over hurdles could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Jim De Sarti, who arrives on the back of a close-up second at Sedgefield. Cracker Star is also noteworthy.
