Formscan  - Misterdoc won an AQPS race when trained in France but couldn't justify favouritism on his British/stable bow and although likely to improve, HORNICA is preferred. Ben Pauling's mare has been thrown in at the deep end over hurdles so far and took a big leap forward to finish second at Windsor last time. This is a lot less taxing than the assignments she's faced and represents a decent opportunity. Leo Wood and Le Gentleman have both shown ability in France and must be monitored in the betting.
