Formscan  - Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore's yard has won two of the last three renewals and there is every chance that TWO AULD PALS can add his name to the roster. Ground versatile, the consistent eight-year-old has a decent win and place strike-rate over hurdles and appeals having been nudged down 1lb since his last run. Ashdown Forest boasts convincing form figures but a 6lb rise for his Stratford win means another personal best is required. Scots Poet and Character Testing are others to consider.
