Formscan - With last year's winner L'Homme Presse potentially gearing up for a tilt at the Grand National and Spillane's Tower having options open to him at the Festival back here, bold showings can be expected from both high-calibre chasers. However, GREY DAWNING is a model of consistency and his return to winning ways in the Betfair at Haydock was a statement performance. This trip seems ideal for Dan Skelton's admirable grey these days and he could be tough to overhaul. Dual Stayers' Hurdle hero Flooring Porter won over fences on the Old Course here as a novice, but he faces a mammoth task on his first run since landing the Kerry National in September 2024.
