Formscan - DUNSTALL RAMBLER still held every chance when falling at the last on his chasing debut at Huntingdon and he may have been a tad unfortunate to go up 4lb for that display. However, Tom George's charge could have plenty of improvement in him so he can make amends. Hidalgo Des Bordes showed a lot more ability on his most recent effort over hurdles at Plumpton and it will be interesting to see how he fares in a first-time tongue-tie on his chase/handicap bow. Samtara is another to watch out for.
