Formscan - GUNNERY SERGEANT hasn't really taken to fences just yet, but time is on his side and it might be now he goes handicapping that he finds the necessary improvement. Button Rock is yet to tackle the larger obstacles but is bred to improve for the switch from hurdling and is of interest, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Veteran Garde Des Champs can chase the pair home.
