Formscan - Hard Stare looks a potential improver on his chasing debut following his best effort over timber when third at Ffos Las in May. However, the experience of TOM TAGGLE may give him the edge. Cath Williams' gelding shaped well at Chepstow in March before returning last month over a shorter trip at Worcester and he has every chance of stepping forward on this occasion. Could Be You edges out Lancier Des Obeaux to be best of the rest.
