Formscan - GITCHE GUMEE hacked up at Stratford on his jumping bow and although then fourth at odds-on at Warwick, he was far from disgraced. Alan King's four-year-old retains plenty of potential and is fancied to regain the winning thread, possibly at the main expense of Half Dozen, who finished a good third at Newbury on his latest outing. Equinus didn't jump with fluency on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter, but he ought to fare better with that experience under his belt.
