Formscan  - This is a good opportunity for ALEXEI, whose third-placed finish in a premier handicap at Ascot confirmed he is capable of holding his own in good company. His win in the Greatwood at Cheltenham on his penultimate start also carries bags of substance and Joe Tizzard's gelding looks the one to beat. Rubaud, who won a below-par renewal of the Elite over C&D in November, is feared most. Subsequently third in the Christmas Hurdle, he must be taken seriously. Secret Squirrel should see off Intellotto to claim third.
