Formscan - This looks a good opportunity for HOE JOLY SMOKE to follow up his recent success at Bangor. A dual winner over fences, the son of Black Sam Bellamy won with plenty in hand back over the smaller obstacles and should have the measure of Handmedownastar. The latter returned the disappointing favourite at Cartmel last time, having scored nicely at Fontwell earlier, while Hopeless Dancer went close in claiming company last time but this is much tougher.
