Formscan - Runner-up on his last two starts over 2m, STICK WITH ME SAM is going to win a race like this sooner rather than later and the booking of Sean Bowen is a big plus. A winner at Southwell on his penultimate outing (hurdles) before disappointing at the same track last time, Neigh Botha must enter calculations, as well as Boston Joe, who could be interesting returned to chasing.
