Formscan By Stuart Howden - ENCANTO BRUNO returned from a break over course and distance last month when proving no match for Pied Piper. That said, Gavin Cromwell's charge doesn't face a rival of that calibre on this occasion and is expected to come out on top. Baltic Bird ran with credit in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle and is an interesting recruit to chasing, while Big Stage is likely to be competitive dropping back in trip after finishing fifth at Navan in March.
