Formscan - TOUQUET dominated a six-runner field at Huntingdon to record a double and connections have found him another good opening as he bids for the three-timer. Just the four runners have been declared and there is every chance he'll get an uncontested lead, so is taken to gallop them into submission. Sage Green is interesting on his chase bow, but a bigger danger is Haas Boy if he can leave a moderate Exeter performance behind and come back to October's Newton Abbot form.
