Formscan - After shaping with promise when finishing second on his hurdling debut at Kelso over 2m on heavy ground, GALUNGGUNG battled to a narrow success over the same distance at Hexham next time out before doubling his tally over timber 25 days ago at Bangor by three and a quarter lengths when stepped up to 2m3f. Donald McCain's charge should be hard to beat in his hat-trick bid on his chase debut. Former C&D winners Well Planted and Garde Des Champs are feared most.
