Formscan By Gary Carson - Former Cheltenham bumper winner A DREAM TO SHARE should be able to get off the mark over hurdles here. The Muhaarar gelding comes here fit from the Flat. He has had a few setbacks since his big day at Prestbury Park and was beaten in a couple of hurdle starts last season. They weren’t bad runs by any means though and he probably doesn’t need to improve much to score now. Road Exile looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott trio and the Limerick bumper winner could be the type to improve now over jumps. Blake was runner-up on his sole previous outing over timber and comes here in winning form from the Flat. He’s another to consider.
