Formscan - In a competitive contest, marginal preference is for LORD SPARKY on his return to fences. Despite failing to justify favouritism over hurdles last time out, the Stuart Edmunds-trained gelding brushed aside his rivals in a chase at Huntingdon in October and a 4lb rise for that effort may not be insurmountable. Blame The Game demands the utmost respect after recording a decisive victory over this trip at Fontwell last time out, while Mance Rayder gave a good account when runner-up at Newcastle earlier this month and he completes the shortlist.
