Formscan - Minella Plus is entitled to improve for his comeback third over hurdles at Uttoxeter earlier this month and must enter calculations on his chasing debut, but dual course scorer SAINT ARVANS edges the vote. He gamely made all over track and trip last time and a 3lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Diamond State, who wears a first-time tongue-tie on his fencing bow, could prove best of the remaining pair.
