Formscan - Champ (first) and Paisley Park (second) served up a treat in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on their return to action last month, with the former just holding on by a neck. The pair are both entitled to plenty of respect, but they may prove to be vulnerable following a hard race and the vote goes to GOSHEN. He returned to winning ways at Ascot last month following a spin over fences at the same track and has always threatened to be suited by a step up to 3m. Miranda produced a career-best effort over C&D against her own sex last time, but this is undoubtedly a much stiffer assignment.
