FormscanBy Michael Graham - The form of LOS BLANCO's third place on hurdle debut over course and distance looks very strong. The winner has since finished runner-up in a Grade 3 novice hurdle while the second came out and won a maiden hurdle by eight lengths. Zoffman is more than useful on the Flat and this drying ground will suit him. He was beaten a fair way into second on jumping debut at Navan, but that was on soft ground. The 116-rated Polemon has the form in the book to feature, while point-to-point winner Kara Sacre is a notable track debutant for Paul Nolan. Lips Freedom, who was seventh in the German Derby of 2023, is worth a market check as well as Gavin Cromwell's newcomer Let's Go Mans.
