Formscan - METASEQUOIA (3) has performed well on both starts this year. He needed the run in April when second over 3500m and was not seen until October when scoring in a Class 1 chase over 4400m. He missed almost two years through injury before his second in April. He can win again at the expense of KARRE D'AS (7), who won a Grade 3 chase at this track over 4400m on November 16th when returning from a lengthy absence. BREXIT (2) won a Grade 3 chase in September at this track and can have a say. LA MARCHE BLEUE (6) is another to keep safe.
