Formscan  - A mark of 119 could greatly underestimate the ability of HASTHING, who had won both starts over hurdles before disappointing at Newbury last time out. Going back up in trip is a big plus and he may have too much for old rival Pic Roc, who has scored at Ascot since playing second fiddle to the selection at Catterick. The hat-trick seeking Fire Flyer is well respected on his handicap debut, while easy Doncaster scorer Champagne Twist is expected to be thereabouts.
