Formscan  - A Great Excuse and TOUQUET are both seeking doubles, but preference is for the latter after his triumph over C&D last month. Nick Gifford's charge makes just his sixth start over fences and may have more in the locker. Lingfield scorer A Great Excuse now has a 5lb higher rating to contend with, but is likely to be on the premises. Plantaroma is the pick of the remainder.
