Formscan - BROKEN HALO emerged as a convincing winner of the Royal Artillery Gold Cup over course and distance last month and he is hard to oppose in his bid to follow up. Last year's winner Rolling Dylan (second) set a good tempo that day and, with a better round of jumping, he could push the selection even closer this time. D'jango could well emerge as the pick of David Pipe's intended runners, although his Abaya Du Mathan cannot be underestimated.
