Formscan  - Having showed signs of inexperience in the final furlongs at Uttoxeter in November, KARONACHO should have learned plenty from that opening second. The five-year-old should prove tough to beat if finding any improvement and a first career victory may beckon. Penalised winner Doctor Blue will find this easier than when fifth in a Listed bumper at Ascot 86 days ago and he's a viable alternative, along with the Paul Nicholls-trained newcomer Grand Garcon.
