Formscan - HUELGOAT took a marked step forward when bolting up on his chasing debut at Newton Abbot last month and, with further improvement likely, he's expected to shrug off a 9lb rise in the ratings. Mascat has been mixing it in both codes and is worthy of consideration, along with Wetanwindy. Stanley Pincombe remains unexposed and he might fare better over the larger obstacles.
