Formscan - The Cob has obvious claims after posting a comfortable success in a novice handicap at Uttoxeter last month and he could have a bright future over fences. However, he had a modest completion rate over hurdles last year, which creates hope for the rest. JAY JAY REILLY appeals as a more sporting option on these terms, as he receives 6lb from the top weight and is likely to have learnt plenty from his chasing debut last month. Guernesey is also dangerous to underestimate.
