Formscan By Stuart Howden - Coutach won going away by two lengths on his third bumper appearance at Perth earlier in the month and has to be respected for the Gordon Elliott team. His stablemate Garnetot sports a first-time tongue-tie and is another to keep an eye on, but SHARING IS CARING gets the nod. The four-year-old took a step forward when finishing second over 2m7f at Ballinrobe on his most recent start and this drop in trip looks a good move.

A hurdle for four years old only, maidens at starting
