Formscan - Jamie Snowden and Gavin Sheehan have been among the winners in the last couple of weeks, and they team up with handicap/chase debutant SCALLOWAY CASTLE. This six-year-old changed hands in May after disappointing in three outings for former connections, but might have more to offer in this sphere. An opening figure of 85 could prove exploitable in a race that may not take a lot of winning. Anthony Honeyball does well here so Guivinec warrants consideration stepping up in trip, having twice made the frame at Fontwell in recent months. Top-weight Ayepaddy completes the shortlist.
