Formscan - LOCAL HERO stepped forward from his return to action when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton earlier in the month. Hollie Doyle takes over in the saddle for the first time and she should get a good tune out of Richard Hannon's colt, who remains open to improvement on just his fifth career start. Giant wasn't at his best when sixth at Kempton last month and is entitled to bounce back to form, while the unexposed United Approach is of interest in an event which contains plenty of frontrunners on paper.
