Formscan  - A fascinating renewal sees the return of MY DROGO, who has been off since winning at Cheltenham in December 2021. He sustained an injury thereafter, but his Grade 1 romp as a novice hurdler here still lives fresh in the memory and offers plenty of hope that he can pick up where he left off. Tommy's Oscar returned with a decisive success at Kelso and is expected to mount another stern challenge off 5lb higher. Hitman finished a gallant second in this 12 months ago, off 1lb higher, and is another to consider.
