Formscan - HOPE HILL drew clear to record a comfortable success at Bangor last month, an effort for which he was subsequently raised 7lb in the handicap. Given wind surgery since then and now fitted with a first-time tongue-tie, the unexposed son of Sageburg may well have more in the locker. Jlow arrives following a brace of third-place finishes and is respected, along with Kingston Bresil, who didn't run too badly under Izzie Hill at Worcester latest.
