Formscan  - HOLETOWN HERO was last seen gaining a first success over hurdles when winning over an extended 2m at this course and, despite shouldering a 7lb winner's penalty on this rise in trip to 2m3f, he looks the one to beat. Future Investment found a class 2 maiden hurdle at Cheltenham too hot to handle, but he's feared most now dropped into a class 4 contest and the sharper nature of this course expected to suit. Bold Reaction may put up a bolder showing on this first appearance after a wind procedure and is another to note.
