Formscan - From The Clouds has shown promise on both of his starts over fences but could fare a little better down in class, whilst Kahavari took a step forward to finish a creditable second at Huntingdon latest. Gordon Elliott brings Big Stage across the Irish Sea in a bid to break his fencing duck, but it is DANCE THIEF that shades preference. Mike Smith's gelding lost his way in the spring last term, but he did win this 12 months ago on the back of a similar absence and is still capable of better.
