Formscan - HEADS UP only found one too good in the Champion Bumper here in March and confirmed his well-being when winning impressively on his hurdling debut over 2m at Listowel in September. This step up in trip may bring about further improvement from the five-year-old and he appears to be the safest pick. Great Fleet chased home an exciting prospect over 3m here last month and this drop in distance should help Dan Skelton's charge, while No Drama This End completes the shortlist.
