Formscan - Cases can be made for all of these, but none more so than THE NEW LION, who created a big impression when winning easily on his hurdling debut over 2m3f at Chepstow a month ago. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to have more improvement forthcoming and he can take this event on his way to bigger targets. Califet En Vol could prove to be the main threat following his 15-length success at Kempton, although Silver Thorn and French Ship should not be discounted.
