Formscan By Tom Weekes - Point-to-point and bumper winner SCOPE TO IMPROVE debuts over hurdles and can continue his yard’s good run. Successful in a Necarne point, he scored nicely at Naas in December but disappointed somewhat when racing a little keen at the Aintree festival. He will be ready on reappearance and notably receives weight from his principal dangers. Top weight If You Believe also scored on point-to-point debut and while well held in a valuable bumper at Punchestown in April, that is traditionally a strong race. Bumper winner Big Dispute is rated just 104 and while he appears to be better than that mark, might still struggle to win this.
