Formscan - Douglas Dc was still going well at Worcester when coming to grief three out and is interesting, assuming that fall hasn't left a mark. 1-27 over hurdles doesn't inspire much confidence, though, and perhaps the safe play is the in-form SERAPHIC. He ran well here in May when third behind the progressive Wondering Why and recent Plumpton scorer Nap Hand and has returned from a break in fine form courtesy of wins at Stratford and Huntingdon. The Dubawi gelding has gone up another 4lb for the latter of those wins but stretching back out in trip can ensure he remains a step ahead of the assessor. Mariole is entitled to have come forward for his Worcester reappearance and Mister Des Places looks the pick of the two Olly Murphy-trained runners.
