Formscan - Both Copper Fox and HONNEUR DE SIVOLA hit the woodwork on their chasing debuts last month, but marginal preference is for the latter. Clare Hobson's charge is officially 3lb well-in and the six-year-old is expected to find the required improvement to go one better. Royle Steel has struggled recently, but, with cheekpieces applied for the first time, it would not be a surprise to see him take a step forward now switched to fences.
