Formscan - Most of these have a little to prove so it might be worth taking a chance on KING SACRE. Nigel Hawke's gelding displayed only moderate promise in bumpers/maiden hurdles, but he's related to a trio of winners, including the useful Emir Sacree, and could prove to be better than an opening mark of 100. Ground conditions might have counted against Lights Go Down at Ayr but he can't be underestimated, and nor can Telhimlisten, who was in good form when last seen over a year ago.
