Fri 14th Nov

Formscan  - Wade Out shaped as if crying out for this step up in distance when getting up towards the finish to score by a head over 2m4f at Worcester last month, and he has to be taken seriously. Double Powerful made the frame off a mark of 134 at this track last time and is noted, but LEAVE OF ABSENCE looks the way to go. Anthony Honeyball's charge did it well over track and trip on his return to the fray, beating a 150-rated rival in Pied Piper, and that form sets the standard.
