Formscan - EASTERN FIRE still held every chance when coming to grief at the last on his hurdling debut at Perth and, as long as that fall hasn't left a mark, Dan Skelton's Fakenham bumper scorer ought to take plenty of beating in a race like this. Oykel Bridge shaped with promise in a couple of bumpers before a lacklustre effort at Hereford and he's noted on his jumping introduction, along with Wallquatari.
