Formscan - BOOMBAWN impressed on his return in a Listed contest at Kempton and the form of that race got a boost when the runner-up bolted up at Fontwell last week. A mark of 129 could underestimate him and he is preferred to Caramelised, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for a win at Plumpton. The classy Rouge Vif is interesting on his return to the smaller obstacles, while Onemorefortheroad is likely to improve for his comeback run at Aintree.
