Formscan  - Twinjets is a must for any shortlist as he confirmed the promise of his Fontwell success with an even more impressive Newbury triumph. Expect him to go off in front, but fellow hat-trick seeker Just Over Land will keep him honest and Matata likes to get on with it too. Add to that Glengouly, who made all here in the December Gold Cup, and this could be run to suit a closer, with C&D winner RISKINTHEGROUND put forward as the one to be on.
