Formscan - NINA THE TERRIER has an excellent record fresh and there's a suspicion a mark of 131 might underestimate what she achieved last year, so Alan King's mare is fancied to make a winning start to the season. Monsieur Lecoq was rated as high as 151 over hurdles a couple of years ago, so off a mark 126 back over the smaller obstacles, he's one to take very seriously, while Holly was last seen winning at Wincanton in December and Jonjo O'Neill's mare looks open to plenty of improvement on her return.
