Formscan - Stanners Glen showed promise on his hurdling debut when third at Taunton before proving no match for an easy winner at Doncaster. He is expected to be in the mix, but KILNEW SUPREME is preferred. Paul Nicholls' gelding finished runner-up in a bumper here in November and makes plenty of appeal on hurdling debut, especially given his point-to-point form behind Crystal Island. Best Trump was disappointing in a maiden hurdle won by Albert Bartlett hero Johnny's Jury at Exeter, but could step up.
