Formscan  - ANOTHER FINE MESS won over hurdles here in December and followed up at Doncaster when sent over fences for the first time. The seven-year-old is only 5lb higher and, with the likelihood of more to come, he can complete the hat-trick. Star Of Affinity won a match at Plumpton and needs to be respected, but Risk De Pluie might be a bigger threat.
