Formscan - Rodney fell when looking the likely winner on his chasing debut at Bangor, but bounced back from his next start at Warwick to score at Leicester and Hereford. The progressive seven-year-old commands plenty of respect, but a 10lb higher mark requires another step forward and the vote goes to TOOTHLESS. Paul Nicholls' gelding improved from his return at Wincanton to get his head back in front at Windsor and is capable of handling a 5lb rise. Charles Ritz and Regal Renaissance appear best of the remainder.
