Formscan  - Captain Butler found Grade 2 company a tough task when last seen, but has to be of interest on his handicap/stable debut. C&D winner Both Barrels is another to keep an eye on, but the verdict is for FOX'S FANCY. She fell at Hexham on her chasing debut last month and this looks a smart move switching back to hurdles. The daughter of Kayf Tara won a soft-ground Perth maiden in April 2024 and remains unexposed in handicaps.
