Formscan - An impressive winner of a Listed bumper here in November, GENTLE SLOPES wasn't disgraced on his hurdles debut last month and the step up in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. This represents a drop in class for Weveallbeencaught, who was third in a Grade 2 here, and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with School Days Over, who has four lengths to make up with the selection. The unbeaten Firestep has a 651-day absence to overcome but must be considered closely.
