Formscan - POTTERS CHARM has the benefit of a run under his belt after making a successful chasing bow at Worcester, despite jumping slightly to his right. The best of these over hurdles, he receives 10lb from both of his rivals and has plenty in his favour. Doyen Quest won the Oaksey Chase at Sandown when last seen and is likely to ensure this is a decent test, while Wendigo is expected to appreciate the outing with a trip to Newbury for the Coral Gold Cup on the horizon.
