Formscan - Last year's winner JANIKA looks the one to be on. Runner-up on his latest point-to-point outing, the 13-year-old has lots in his favour to strike. Bowtogreatness possesses the highest rating in the field and if on a going day, he ought go close. Go On Chez was competing in the Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival this time last year and can beat Coolagh Park home for third.
