Formscan  - Call Me Arthur got no further than the first fence at Taunton, but won his penultimate start at Huntingdon with ease and a clear round would see him in contention. However, CHECK THE SCORE returns to chasing after finishing second over hurdles at Southwell on his first start in a year and with only six races on the clock at the age of eight, he could maintain his unbeaten record over fences. The Big Reveal won over C&D last month and is another to take seriously.
