Formscan - Nicky Henderson's team have been in excellent form at Cheltenham this week and that can continue with LA PINSONNIERE. The six-year-old looked to be in need of the run when third in a Listed contest at Warwick last month and she appears capable of taking a decent step forward. Marsiac remains open to improvement over timber after finishing fourth on handicap debut at Hereford. Others to consider are Double Powerful and Royal Infantry.
