Formscan - THE BOMBER LISTON hasn't quite taken to chasing as expected and connections will be hoping a switch back to hurdles, along with a falling handicap mark and first-time cheekpieces, can make a difference. His penultimate effort over hurdles saw him finish second at Kempton off a 6lb higher rating and a repeat of that display would make him hard to beat. Hurricane Harvey won twice last season, including over C&D in December, and ended his campaign when runner-up at Cheltenham to an improving type. He is likely to go well, while Gentleman At Arms has dropped to an attractive mark.
