Formscan - KLITSCHKO offered plenty of encouragement when second in a good race at Newbury on New Year's Eve and in what looks a less competitive contest, Alan King's five-year-old will take all the beating. Mardoof has posted creditable efforts in defeat at Wincanton and Uttoxeter and looks the main danger. Diamond Egg and Jack The Savage are the most interesting of the hurdling debutants and they can fight it out for the minor honours.
