Formscan - HURSTWOOD arrives here seeking a hat-trick after successive wins after scoring twice over 6f at Redcar and thus he makes most appeal. Peter Niven's charge has been raised 5lb for his latest one and a quarter length win but that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Should he not fire, Wade's Magic is likely to be the one to pick up the pieces. Tim Easterby's five-year-old runs off the same mark as when third at Catterick last time, while Brides Bay is another to consider.
