Formscan - In The Trenches is an obvious starting point after he made a winning debut for Jennie Candlish at Warwick. However, he faced just a couple of rivals on that occasion and faces a stiffer test under a 7lb penalty returning to hurdles. A Chara warrants consideration based on the promise she showed last year, but it might be worth chancing GENTLE OCEAN, a credible second in his sole point-to-point. This 50,000-pounds purchase debuts under Rules for a yard that has previously done very well his relatives.
