Formscan  - A comfortable winner of this contest last year off 13lb lower, ZAIN NIGHTS arrives in top form once again, having scored at Newbury last month. The booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye and he can follow up at the main expense of Mr Hope Street, who was second at Newbury in December and has won over further than this before. Runner-up in the Stayers' Hurdle here just two years ago, Dashel Drasher brings plenty of class to proceedings, while Long Draw has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of December's success over C&D.
