Formscan - A 3lb raised mark may not be enough to stop BALLAQUANE following up an impressive chasing debut at Fontwell over 2m5f last month, with today's longer trip unlikely to inconvenience the son of Scorpion. A switch to fences clearly worked following a string of flat efforts over timber, though Manintheshadows makes the switch to fences having scored over hurdles on his seasonal debut in October and is feared. High Counsel completes the shortlist.
