Formscan  - Haafapiece and Copper Beach both enter the equation after recent second-place efforts, but any value may lie with dual course winner RAFFERTY'S RETURN, who invariably goes well here. Rebecca Menzies' charge obliged from this same mark here on Boxing Day and is open to improvement following his return to action a fortnight ago. Any positive market moves for Sporty Jim would be interesting after a long absence, whilst Serious Operator is better than he showed at Cheltenham last time.
