Formscan  - HIGH FIBRE was useful on the Flat and displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on his hurdling debut at Wincanton in October. With the benefit of that experience, the six-year-old tops the shortlist, although The Hardest Geezer also brings solid form to the table and should not be discounted. Strolling Along was not beaten far in a Carlisle bumper on his racecourse bow and is another to note.
