Formscan - Treaty Boy looked all the better for his reappearance run at Hexham when routing his rivals at Kelso 10 days ago. However, the handicapper has reacted in kind with a 9lb hike for Stuart Coltherd's charge, which might be enough to thwart his follow-up bid. NATURAL ABILITY caused a shock when regaining the winning thread over timber here and may prove to be slightly better treated reverting to the larger obstacles. Getaway Jewel also catches the eye in first-time cheekpieces.
