Formscan - MYRISTICA was a useful performer on the Flat and has transferred that ability to hurdling, brushing aside her rivals at Southwell last month. The David Pipe-trained five-year-old could have more to offer and gets the nod to continue her ascendancy under a penalty. Tique shed the maiden tag by claiming a bumper at Bangor-on-Dee last time out and she must be respected with an age allowance on her hurdling bow. The others need to step up markedly and Jacktot is the pick of them.
