Formscan  - AVIATION has shown enough promise in his three previous starts over hurdles to suggest that he can take the lead role here. A close second over in a maiden C&D last month, the Lucy Wadham-trained gelding won't need to find much to go one with that track experience a big asset. The last-time-out winners Escapologist and Elysian Knight are obvious players but quite whether either can cope with conceding 7lb to the selection at this stage is very much open to debate.
