Formscan  - GROUNDHOG has been knocking on the door in recent months and perseverance may pay dividends. A 2lb rise for his latest second over C&D could prove lenient and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Shielas Well continued her good run of form with a respectable third at Thirsk last month and is a feasible alternative, along with the down-in-class Precious Spartan.
