Formscan - Hexham wouldn't be a course that immediately springs to mind as a target venue for Paul Nicholls but this could be an ideal piece of placement for STRATAGEM on just his second start back after wind surgery. Given the selection is already a dual winner in this sphere and should have benefitted from last month's Southwell return, it would be no surprise to see him shine in this company. Shanroe Street and Jerrysback complete the shortlist.
