Formscan  - A ready winner on his handicap debut at Fontwell last month, MR GRIFFITHS was 26 lengths clear of the runner-up when he followed up in a conditional riders' event at Warwick last week. Given he is 12lb well-in, the son of Masked Marvel is very hard to oppose. Scairp Dubh is also due a rise after winning at Carlisle and with Jack Power now able to use his 5lb claim, he also appears well ahead of the handicapper. Highbury Hill and Jonquilla complete the shortlist.
