Formscan - LIEGE ARDENT won twice over fences when trained in France and Richard Hobson's new recruit might be worth chancing on his UK debut. A big challenge could emerge from Bataillon, who displayed a solid level of form last term and might still have a bit more to offer. Soldier For Glory makes his handicap/chase bow from a mark of 107 and is another to keep an eye on.
