Formscan - MOUNT GALLION won with plenty in hand over 2m at Huntingdon on his penultimate start before failing to give his true running when pulling up over 2m1f on his handicap debut at Carlisle last time. Stepping up in trip off the same mark, the unexposed son of Leading Light could return to winning ways for the in-form Mark Walford team. Ciel De Neige isn't the force of old but his mark reflects that and he commands respect on his return to hurdling. Recent Bangor runner-up Kopa Kilana also merits consideration in what looks a competitive affair.
