Formscan - A few of these like to make the running, with handicap hurdle debutant Gift Of Raaj an appealing option after making all to win a novice at Doncaster. Ninetofive is also considered given his low mileage and scope now he's had a wind problem addressed. However, BARNABAS COLLINS heads the shortlist given the improvement shown since returning from a break, and the characteristics of this circuit could suit him better than those at Bangor from last time out. My Macho Man is also worth noting.
