Formscan - JUST AIDAN didn't get far on his chasing bow, but he put that behind him to score at Bangor three weeks ago. A 5lb rise looks fair relative to what he achieved over hurdles and given that he's open to further improvement, this might be another fine opportunity. Glancing Back didn't show too much over timber, but it's interesting that connections waste no time in sending her over a fence. She, alongside fellow chasing debutant No Guarantee, could be the main dangers to the selection.
