Formscan - Having tasted success in three out of his last four starts, Fingal's Hill has to be respected on his return to action but the one who appeals most is SMOKERINGINTHEDARK. The Nicky Richards-trained six-year-old only found subsequent Lanzarote fourth Fasol too good at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and competes off an unchanged rating. Guard Duty is another to note.
