Formscan - This looks like a good opportunity for BARNABY to complete a C&D hat-trick. Kevin Ryan's gelding accounted for three of these rivals when defying a 6lb rise to complete a double with plenty to spare 13 days ago, taking his track-and-trip strike-rate to 6-8 in the process, and a further 6lb hike doesn't look enough to halt him. The main threat appears to be Longhaired General, who also arrives on a course three-timer but his two wins came over 1m. William Dewhirst completes the shortlist.
