Formscan - LUMP SUM has encountered high-class or progressive rivals in his most recent starts and victory in an event such as this wouldn't be coming out of turn. Having had last year's winner, Go Dante, a long way behind when second in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury last month, there is a lot to like despite the burden of top-weigtht. Wreckless Eric and Bo Zenith are closely matched based on their encounter at Cheltenham in December and are capable of being on the premises. Knickerbockerglory has improved since finishing fifth in this 12 months ago and also has each-way appeal.
