Formscan - This isn't as competitive as the numbers would suggest and the vote goes to TED THE THIEF. Robert Walford's six-year-old has run well on both of his starts over fences, most recently finishing third at Wincanton. That, at the very least, suggested he is up to winning races at this level and with further improvement anticipated, he should go close. Faitque De L'Isle let favourite-backers down at Windsor but is more appealing than many. Watchoutitscookie returns to fences following a good second over hurdles.
