Formscan  - Although a little disappointing when finishing fourth in the Persian War on his return at Chepstow, QUEENSBURY BOY could excel on his chase debut. Now under the tutelage of Mickey Bowen, the six-year-old's official rating of 131 looks workable and he makes the most appeal. Having made a winning reappearance on his first crack at fences at Aintree, another bold bid is forecast from Jordans Cross. Kim Roque boasts some useful French form and cannot be dismissed lightly.
