FormscanBy Gary Carson - ECHOES OF FAMILY was obviously flattered when chasing home Envoi Allen at Down Royal last time but had solid handicap form before that and should be good enough to take a moderate looking race now. Rachael Blackmore is an eye-catching booking for the mare and adding a win to the black-type she earned last time would be a big boost to her pedigree. Springfield Lodge won a couple of handicap chases on easy ground in the spring and could be a big player here after blowing the cobwebs away over timber last month. Mr Bercow has been well beaten on his two outings over fences recently but may be able to get a bit closer now tried in handicap company.%0A
