Formscan  - Country Park produced his best effort to date over timber when runner-up at Cheltenham last month and the five-year-old commands plenty of respect with him being relatively unexposed. However, the vote goes to another handicap debutant in the shape of CHOCCABLOC, who was last seen finishing second to a smart type of Willie Mullins' at Ayr in the spring and an opening mark of 128 may underestimate his ability. Things haven't gone to plan over fences for Uncle Bert, so a return to the smaller obstacles might aid his cause.
