Formscan  - DR SHIROCCO produced some decent efforts over C&D during the summer months and the return to the larger obstacles, in what appears to be a winnable contest, gives him every chance of gaining a fifth career success. Don Brocco got the better of Gibberwell at Carlisle in February and the pair are likely to be competitive, while first-time blinkers might aid the cause of You Say Its Over.
