Formscan - The vote goes to point-to-point winner SPECIAL JOHN, who posted a number of creditable efforts over hurdles last term. Now in the care of Sam Thomas, whose team is in excellent form, he can progress for the switch to fences and continue that trend. Mythe Bridge shouldn't be far away if ready to roll on his seasonal return, while Moonlight Artist heads the remainder.
