Formscan  - Bathara has some fair bumper form to his name and his latest third at Warwick was easily his best effort over hurdles. An opening mark of 97 could prove to be lenient and he must be taken seriously. However, TRAVELING SOLDIER has returned to form since being fitted with a visor over fences at Southwell in June and he lost little in defeat when second to a subsequent winner here the following month. Reverting to timber off an unchanged mark, he edges the vote. Ikigai Star is the pick of the remainder.
