Formscan - Although his jumping wasn't the most polished, there was plenty of encouragement to be taken from LORD ACCORD's latest third off this mark in a class 2 event at Uttoxeter. Neil Mulholland's charge makes the long journey north and this class 4 event looks ripe for the taking. Barbados Buck's showed more verve in first-time blinkers when only weakening late into fifth over 2m7f at Market Rasen last month. The nine-year-old is feared most racing off a 3lb lower mark, ahead of I Am Spider Man.
