Formscan  - GARDENER looks the obvious place to start in division two of this handicap hurdle as he probably won more cosily over C&D last month than the winning distance suggests. This slightly sounder surface shouldn't be a problem for him and the veteran gets the nod ahead of Kool Raoul and Our Laura B, who is expected to get a bit closer to the selection this time.
