Formscan - ALWAYS A REASON improved over hurdles, winning at Southwell and finishing a close second at Carlisle, before making a successful switch to the larger obstacles at Newcastle. Despite going up 5lb, Rebecca Menzies' gelding makes plenty of appeal in his bid to back up that performance. Zero Tolerance returned with a solid effort here over shorter and is capable of a decent showing. Starman appears best of the remainder.
