Formscan - PILEON took a step in the right direction when runner-up on his latest outing at Doncaster and the nine-year-old, who has dropped down the handicap in recent months, is capable of going one better. Dargiannini returned to hurdles with a victory at Uttoxeter in January having previously fallen over the larger obstacles. An 8lb rise is unlikely to stop him from being competitive, while Jay Bee Why and Lock's Corner are others who boast solid credentials.
