Formscan - DROP KICK has made the frame on both starts since winning at Carlisle in November and, given the lack of depth in this contest, it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways on this occasion. Sugar Road has not shown much over hurdles yet, but may find significant improvement now switched to handicap company. Others to consider are Cher Monsieur and Leader Wing.
