Formscan - Cinquenta has won twice over hurdles and represents a yard in fine form. He could make his presence felt on his chasing bow, but DESERTMORE NEWS makes more appeal. The six-year-old faced a stiffer assignment at Ffos Las on last month's debut over the larger obstacles, but he acquitted himself well in third and Tom Ellis' charge can put the benefit of that experience to good use. Southwell runner-up Cheesy Icon is preferred to Top Jimmy.
