Formscan - Forest Chimes struck over these fences in March and should make his presence felt again, but the less exposed ISKANDAR PECOS is preferred. The six-year-old has now won three of his four starts over regulation fences having scored nicely at Cheltenham last time and may not have finished improving yet. Master Templar finished runner-up at the same Cheltenham meeting and can give another good account.
