Formscan - A highly-competitive Coral Gold Cup in which preference is for the Paul Nicholls-trained THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE. A dual Grade 2 chase winner last season, the son of Shantou made a creditable return to action when finishing third in the bet365 Hurdle at Wetherby last month and can build on that in first-time cheekpieces. His stable is in flying form and with 15 of the past 17 winners being rated 145 or higher, he has to be respected off a mark of 151. Remastered was going easily in this last year when coming to grief at the fourth-last fence and merits serious consideration, along with this year's Ultima winner Corach Rambler. Others that should not be taken lightly include Gericault Roque and Fiddlerontheroof.
