Formscan - Nicky Henderson appears to hold the key to this race, with DUSART and Captain Morgs obvious contenders. Preference is for the former, who returns to hurdles for his reappearance after a successful chasing campaign. He showed high-class form in both starts over the smaller obstacles and is unbeaten first time out. Captain Morgs returned after having a wind operation to go down narrowly to stablemate Call Me Lord at Kempton, and that form has been franked since. Uhtred could relish this step up in trip and is another to note.
