Formscan  - French Flat recruit Young Merlin, unbeaten in two Southwell novice hurdles since joining Amy Murphy, is bound to have his supporters as hid bids for a hat-trick. However, he was made to work harder than expected last time and his opening mark could be high enough on easier ground. The consistent Glorious Zoff looks a viable alternative but preference is for CALL ME ROCKY, who had looked firmly on the upgrade before stumbling and sustaining an overreach in his hat-trick bid here last time.
