Formscan - Having capped off his novice chase campaign with victory in the Grade 1 Maghull at the Aintree Festival, there could be more to come from KALIF DU BERLAIS. An official rating of 156 for Paul Nicholls' charge looks workable now reverting to handicap company and he gets the call ahead of Martator. Although Venetia Williams' eight-year-old's form tailed off at the back end of last season, he landed the spoils on his return at Ascot 12 months ago and is only 1lb higher than for his subsequent 11-length romp at the Berkshire track. The hat-trick seeking Saint Segal is the pick of the remainder.
