Formscan - Soldierofthestorm made a pleasing start to life over fences when second at Hereford in January and there should be more to come, but it's hard to get away from MR HOPE STREET. Dan Skelton's gelding finished behind The Jukebox Man at Haydock most recently and that form makes a mark of 131 look workable, so he looks the way to go. Just Over Land is another to consider.
