Formscan - A deceptively trappy contest, not least because all four are returning from an absence. Hurricane Bay was last seen winning at Fakenham, but this is a tougher test and MOON ROCKET gets the vote. The five-year-old was pulled up in the Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree, but the point-to-point winner had been progressive prior and chasing promises to be more his game. Henri The Second flopped on his sole fencing effort but it's far too soon to write him off in this sphere, while similar comments apply to Bugise Seagull.
