Formscan  - WOLF RAYET proved his 40/1 Chepstow second was no fluke when running well for fourth in a good contest at Cheltenham. He holds a Triumph Hurdle entry and although that seems fanciful at this stage, victory here would mean he wouldn't look out of place in something like the Fred Winter. King Al chased home a classy juvenile at Kempton and is feared most, and Down To Business has also shown enough to warrant an interest. Gallivanted is rated 79 on the level and has joined Harry Derham after changing hands for 70,000gns.
