Formscan  - Wearelongterm appreciated a switch to hurdling when hitting the frame over C&D on New Year's Day and he must enter calculations dropping in class. However, there is a fair chance that this rise in distance could unlock significant improvement in handicap-debutant CRYSTELLO, who finished second in a 3m point-to-point last April. Harry Derham's charge gets the verdict, with Bollin Matilda the pick of the remainder.
