Formscan - Having notched up a brace over hurdles last month, Blenkinsop is going the right way and a 7lb penalty still leaves him 3lb well-in. However, it's no easy task giving weight away and he's worth taking on with HORN CAPE, who is unexposed in this sphere and is expected to be sharper after last month's return. Groom De Cotte also has scope and is worth another try at this sort of trip.
