Formscan  - Third when trying to land a premier handicap at Aintree's Grand National meeting for the second season running on her latest appearance, WEST BALBOA was head and shoulders above her rivals over the smaller obstacles and will take all the beating if responding well to this switch to fences. Glimpse Of Gala hit the crossbar on her sole previous chase start and she might be the main threat. El Elefante heads the remainder.
