Formscan  - This can go the way of VALADON, who scored comfortably at the main expense of a subsequent winner at Newbury in January and should have plenty more improvement forthcoming on just his fourth career outing. The hat-trick seeking Through The Ages is a big danger, although the recent form of the Gary Moore stable is a slight concern, while C&D winner Castelfort is proven under these conditions and should go well.
