Formscan  - A respectable third in the Coral Gold Cup in December, MONBEG GENIUS looks the one with most upside and can take this en route to a tilt at the Grand National next month. The eight-year-old has dominated in smaller fields before and he should have too much class for admirable veteran Aye Right, who went down on his sword at Warwick last time out. Course specialist Elvis Mail is another to consider, as well as Thunder Rock.
