Formscan  - Paul Nicholls won this with Caldwell Potter 12 months ago and the Ditcheat maestro saddles an interesting runner in the shape of Regent's Stroll. The form of his second here on New Year's Day has been franked, although there has to be a worry that the atmosphere of the Festival may just get to him, especially given how keen he has been at times. Meetmebythesea will appreciate a sounder surface after qualifying when not sighted in the Game Spirit and the step up in trip is another angle for improvement, while the same owner's Stencil needs to prove his stamina after impressing at Chepstow. Jordans Cross won over C&D on Trials Day in a race that has a terrific record of throwing up Festival winners, but a chance is taken with OL MAN DINGLE. The seven-year-old scored on his first two chase starts at Galway and Cork before finding the ground too soft in the Drinmore. Freshened up since, the application of cheekpieces is another potential source of improvement and he may well prove to be overpriced.
