Formscan  - It is hard to look past the hat-trick seeking SCRIPTWRITER, who caught the eye when securing a comfortable victory at Cheltenham in a Grade 2 and is fancied to follow up here, despite having to shoulder a 5lb penalty. The reopposing runner-up Perseus Way should not be underestimated having bolted up at Leicester subsequently, while Irish raider Comfort Zone is another to consider having finished a creditable third in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse last time.
