Formscan  - The Twiston-Davies team landed this contest last year with subsequent Grade 1 winner Potters Charm and they may have another talented sort on their hands in the shape of SIR HOBNOB. The four-year-old improved markedly from his first to his second start in bumpers to score at Bangor and this looks like a nice opportunity. Course winner Ice In The Veins might be best placed to chase him home, with Authoceltic and Blue Universe next best.
