Formscan - TEXARD hosed up by 21 lengths in a class 5 event over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time and he was hit with a 10lb rise for that success. The son of Kapgarde should have no issues with this step back up in trip and he could prove hard to beat. Lesser disappointed on his handicap bow over the smaller obstacles in January but it will be interesting to see how the dual hurdle winner fares on his chase debut, while Magic Dancer goes off an appealing mark and is another to watch out for.
