Formscan  - The safest option looks to be SHEARER, with the form of his latest win over C&D being well franked by the runner-up. The six-year-old has always been highly rated by connections and it may be only now that he is beginning to realise his full potential as a stayer. Fourth in a strong renewal of the 2021 Betfair Hurdle when last seen over the smaller obstacles, Annual Invictus is of interest as well as Sidi Ismael, who did it nicely at Worcester last month. Irish raider Zoffanien and C&D winner On The Blind Side cannot be ruled out either.
