Formscan - Benny Silver was unfortunate not to get off the mark at the first time of asking when the four-year-old was headed in the final strides at Ffos Las in October. The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding demands the utmost respect on that evidence, but preference is for TOMMY CULLEN, who showed plenty of promise when third at Wetherby on his first outing over hurdles. His dam is out of an unraced half-sister to the top-class Strong Platinum and he can shed the maiden tag in this contest. Criquette can follow them home.
