Formscan - VALGRAND wasn't disgraced when fourth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last month and he now makes his hurdle debut for the Dan Skelton team. The son of Bathyrhon could prove too good for these, with his main threat possibly being Came From Nowhere, who scored in fine style on his debut in a Taunton bumper and he is one to take seriously. Of the remainder, debut third Kap Ouest makes the most appeal in a first-time hood.
