Formscan - GREAT FLEET shaped with encouragement on his first two hurdle outings when chasing home Conman John here and at Cheltenham over further. Dan Skelton's gelding subsequently ran flat when returning to the latter venue in Grade 2 company and the application of a tongue tie may aid his cause, especially with his sights being lowered. Bohemond Antioch could settle better with his return at Bangor under his belt, while Carlisle bumper winner Camberwell can take a step back in the right direction on hurdling debut.
