Formscan  - Connections wasted little time in switching CALIMYSTIC to chasing and he came good at the first attempt when winning at Newbury. That was his first run of the season and, given he's open to stacks more improvement, he can be expected to play a prominent role. Bucksy Des Epeires is more experienced over the larger obstacles and comes in here on the back of win too, at Ludlow, so is also taken seriously. Welcom To Cartries makes some each-way appeal at the forecast prices.
