Formscan - HALF DOZEN proved a different proposition when recently winning on his handicap debut at Hereford and, if in the same form on this quick turnout under a 7lb penalty, the Paul Nicholls inmate is expected to take all the beating. Give Me A Cuddle looks the main threat after coming good at the second time of asking in handicaps at Doncaster and a 5lb rise in the ratings unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Three-time C&D winner Amelia's Dance has a career-high mark to contend with but she can't be discounted on her return to this venue.
