Formscan  - Continuance arrives in excellent form after wins at Ludlow and Fontwell and, with Freddie Keighley remaining in the saddle, he can go well in his hunt for the hat-trick. Game Colours is a model of consistency with six top-three finishes in a row, including success at Lingfield, and she deserves to pick up some prize money, but CASA NO MENTO is hard to oppose. She returns to timber after a wide-margin success over fences at Bangor and has some decent form in much better races over hurdles to call upon.
