Formscan  - WEST CORK has struggled behind some useful rivals of late but he could take a significant step forward now switched to handicap company for the first time over fences. The eight-year-old was second in the Scottish Champion Hurdle off a 2lb higher mark earlier in the year and had previously finished fourth in the County Hurdle. Panic Attack has to be respected following her victory at Huntingdon last month, while Solo and Galore Desassences are also noted.
