Formscan  - Smart Flat performer TASHKHAN made a winning hurdles bow at Hexham earlier this month and this sharper track looks a positive move. Brian Ellison's gelding is open to improvement and is slightly more appealing than Imperfectlyperfect. The five-year-old found a Grade 2 at Cheltenham a step too far, but he should prove far more competitive in these calmer waters. Country Code and Burncourt Boy are others of interest.
