Formscan - NOCTE VOLATUS has struggled in Grade 3 contests on his last two outings and is entitled to improve at this level. He finished a weakening second over 2m5f at Hereford in December and can bounce back given he has dropped to 1lb below that mark. Iconic Muddle did well to fill the runner-up spot at Kempton most recently and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Eden Du Houx is another to bear in mind.
