Formscan - Wendigo may have been pipped by Wade Out on his chasing debut at Worcester, but that form looks better in hindsight thanks to the winner following up in Listed company. The smart six-year-old was ahead of REGENT'S STROLL when beating all bar The New Lion in last year's Challow, but Paul Nicholls' expensive purchase improved as the season went on and was only just denied in Grade 1 company at Aintree. Better is expected of him now he tackles fences and the stable won this with a chasing newcomer two years ago. Kingston Pride is another force to be reckoned with.
