Formscan  - A tricky puzzle to solve with plenty in with a chance and only a tentative vote goes to recent Market Rasen scorer NORMAN FLETCHER. The four-year-old arrives here for the in-form Nigel Twiston-Davies yard and having shed his maiden tag in comfortable fashion last time, he could be up to handling this tougher assignment. Le Jeune Bresil shaped as though this drop in trip could work the oracle when not quite lasting home over the extended 2m3f at Wetherby last month and he is feared most, while Goonhilly would enter the equation should he produce a more polished jumping display.
