Formscan - Stellar Stream remains open to further improvement following his breakthrough Hereford triumph and an opening mark of 106 wouldn't appear to be insurmountable, while Our Bill's Aunt remains in good form and she's likely to throw down a stern challenge too. However, preference is for LEADING SWOOP. Robert Walford's charge posted an improved effort when narrowly denied at Fontwell in January and he could go one better now tackling further.
