FormscanBy Gary Carson - DIRECT APPROACH looks capable of being a big player in this company off a mark of 100 on his handicap debut. The No Nay Never gelding has run solid races in maiden hurdles this summer, particularly when third at Kilbeggan on his penultimate outing. Convincing comes here in winning form, having scored at Kilbeggan earlier in the month and he should be competitive again despite a 6lb rise. Masego has been consistent on the Flat this summer and is another to note on his return to jumping now. He also makes his handicap debut over hurdles, so is unexposed.%0A%0A
