Formscan - KINGLAND (5) missed almost two years before his impressive return to action in September over hurdles at this track, and followed up with a facile success in the Prix Carmarthen hurdle (Grade 3) on his latest start at this track early last month, with former two-time winner of this race THELEME (4) back in second that day. With a thrilling rematch on the cards, they can be expected to fight out the finish from JET BLUE (7), who was third in the Prix Carmarthen and warrants respect. COEUR D'AMOUR (8) looks best of the remainder.
