Formscan  - The front-running NICKLE BACK could give weight and a beating to these rivals. This represents a significant drop in class, having contested either Grade 1 or Grade 2 events on his last four starts, and he can easily be excused a lacklustre performance at Aintree where hampered at the start. He produced a career-best performance over this C&D in the Scilly Isles only two starts ago and if running to a similar level again, he will prove extremely hard to beat. Harry Cobden won't want to give the selection too much rope aboard the hat-trick seeking Outlaw Peter and he might put up most resistance. Martator has obvious form claims but Venetia Williams has been quiet of late, and Bourbali might surprise one or two just 3lb higher than when runner-up over hurdles at this meeting last year.
