Formscan - GOSHEN is notably better going right-handed and arrives here following his first attempt over 3m when runner-up in the rearranged Long Walk at Kempton on Boxing Day. The seven-year-old ran in this contest 12 months ago when throwing away his chance by hanging right, but the application of cheekpieces might aid his cause. Jason The Militant makes his debut for Phil Kirby and is respected due to his preference for testing conditions, while similar comments apply to Metier, who won a valuable handicap hurdle at this meeting last year.
