Formscan - FINE CASTING was a solid second at Uttoxeter when last seen over hurdles and, having scored over fences since, the Ben Pauling inmate is interesting reverting to timber under 7lb claimer Elliott England. Karton Plein's third at Lingfield gives him every chance and he's certainly one to bear in mind, while others to note include Codetalker and Isle Of Sark.
