Formscan  - Having looked something of an unlucky loser when a never-nearer second over C&D recently, FIRCOMBE HALL makes plenty of appeal. Philip Kirby's inmate is likely to go close with a similar performance and a ninth career victory may beckon. Reopposing fourth Penny Mountain may serve the most resistance to the selection, although an improved performance from Beneficiary in refitted blinkers wouldn't come as a surprise.
