Formscan  - Highland Fashion is the pick of those with hurdling experience, but he could be vulnerable to some unexposed types in this field. One of those is UPON TWEED, who readily dispatched the exciting Conman John on his debut in a bumper at Newcastle in February. If taking to hurdling, Nicky Richards' gelding could prove to be well above average this season. Stride On is another bumper winner who has to be given plenty of respect, while L'arme De Bonheur is also considered.
