Formscan - The Nicky Henderson-trained Blue Stello may have needed the run when he was a respectable fourth on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter in December. That was his first outing after a 421-day absence and he is entitled to have come forward. However, FINEST VIEW has a more battle-hardended profile and she could be the answer if Henderson's gelding finds this comes too soon or falters for any reason. Sir Psycho and last year's winner West To The Bridge also make some appeal.
