Formscan  - This contest seems to revolve around the performance of NORMAN FLETCHER, who looked a useful type in bumpers before letting himself down in the jumping stakes on his hurdles debut at Huntingdon nine days ago. Nigel Twiston-Davies' runner didn't jump at all well before falling three out that day but he should know more for the experience and, having been sent off a long odds-on shot that day, compensation could await. Lady Caro and Wyenot are the dangers.
