Formscan - MCFABULOUS is an exciting recruit to fences for the Paul Nicholls yard and was last seen winning a Grade 2 hurdle at Sandown in April. He was the best of these over timber and could take high rank in this season's novice chase division. Uhtred should appreciate this return to a right-handed course, but Sebastopol beat Victorias Peak to a Listed prize at Chepstow and is a bigger threat. Hang In There needs to bounce back, but shouldn't be discounted if the going remains quick.
