Formscan  - Nowmelad bids for a third success over hurdles having been found an excellent opportunity at Hereford in November. That said, this would be the softest ground he has encountered and the vote, therefore, goes to CARISMATIC SOLDIER. Runner-up on his hurdling bow at Leicester, the six-year-old is entitled to be sharper for the experience and may take advantage of the 10lb he receives from his likely main market rival. Boston Boy has the ability to be competitive if producing a clear round after running out on his last couple of starts.
