Formscan - Although foiled in his follow-up bid, Lingfield scorer GATINEAU PARK lost little in defeat when conceding 7lb to a subsequent winner at Wincanton. The six-year-old should take all the beating if performing to a similar level and gets the vote over Tashkhan. Brian Ellison's inmate arrives on the back of a respectable third in a Grade 2 at Haydock and is likely to be involved. Out Of The Woods is the pick of the remainder.
